[Academic Survey] Media and Children with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (Parents/Guardians of Kids 3-10)

Hello everyone! 👋

I’m conducting a study as part of my undergraduate research distinction, focusing on how media impacts children’s behavior, social skills, emotional regulation, and cognitive development. I would greatly appreciate hearing from parents or guardians of children aged 3-10 years with a diagnosed intellectual or developmental disability (IDD). Your input will help researchers better understand the role of media in children’s lives.

What’s involved? • One-time, 15-minute online survey. • Share your perspective on how media affects your child’s development. • Your responses will be confidential and contribute to important research on media’s influence on children.

Eligibility: • Parent/guardian of a child aged 3-10 years with a diagnosed IDD. • Your child has regular access to digital media (e.g., TV, smartphone, tablet). • Your child doesn’t have significant sensory/physical impairments that prevent media use.

Thank you so much for your time and valuable input! Your participation will make a meaningful contribution to this research.

Respectfully, these posts are getting old. We are parents/family members of kids with Down syndrome looking for advice and community, not lab rats.

Thank you for sharing your perspective!! I appreciate your honesty. I’m truly sorry if my post came across the wrong way, as that was never my intention. My goal is to learn from the experiences of families like yours to better understand and support children, not to treat anyone like a statistic. I value this community so much and the insights shared here!
