[QUOTE="Martie, post: 347011, member: 284"] Thanks everyone for the kind replies. It is always nice to have ones works reviewed by the subjects. If you all think it is accurate, that increases the external validity. TM: Sometimes I get emotional also when I think about what happens to our kids. As a researcher I am supposed to be objective, and I am in handling data analyses, but in truth, most researchers have an emotional investment in the topic or they wouldnt spend the huge amount of time research takes. Hi Esther. So nice to hear from you. Laura already responded that her survey is for parents of US children, but I just want to thank you for looking at it. I hope things are going well for you and your family. DDD: The topics you suggest are very worthwhile, but I have no way as a researcher with very limited funding to extend our team much beyond what we do now. We do have plans to continue however. I have a new doctor student who would like to look at the experiences of parents of preschoolers with EBD in comparison to parents of children with autism. I am afraid, based on Lauras response rate, that there would not be enough respondents to analyze the data, but we could try to get data here and other places (community sample) as well. I suspect that parents of children with autism find services more easily and by different routes. However, I do not know the answer---thats what drives research. The next thing I am going to do is look at SD compliance to McKinney-Vento which is the Federal act that protects the rights of homeless and highly mobile youth to receive an education. McK-V was passed in 1987, but has largely been neglected and compliance is spotty. We are planning to access information locally through homeless shelter directors. Homeless women and all children are considered vulnerable populations by the IRB (Institutional Review Board) that must approve all research undertaken by both faculty and students.
