Development and validation of a Neurodevelopmental Assessment Scale

Researchers at UNSW are conducting a project which aims to validate a Neurodevelopmental Assessment Scale (NAS) and would like to recruit parents/caregivers of children with a Neurodevelopmental Developmental Disorder (NDD) to assist with the validation.

The research study is looking to recruit the following parents/caregivers:

Parents/caregivers have a preschool aged child (ages 2-6), or attending primary (ages 5-13) or secondary school (ages 13-18)

This child has an NDD

Parent/caregiver is able to understand verbal English
Parent/caregiver has reliable internet access

Examples of the types of NDDs to be included in the research are cerebral palsy, motor, communication and speciﬁc learning disorders, intellectual disability (ID), autism Spectrum disorders (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and tics.

If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete the following research activities:

One online questionnaire about your child’s NDD (the NAS) and one online questionnaire about your views of the NAS. These questionnaires will take roughly 1 hour to complete.
An interview about your child which will take between 20 minutes and 90 minutes to complete.
