“I would like to invite you to participate in a research study exploring the perceived impact of spoken language choice in deaf or hard of hearing multilingual children and young people.
If you work with with deaf or hard of hearing children and young people in some capacity (E.g. ToD, Speech and Language Therapist, an audiologist, a communication support worker, teacher), then I would greatly appreciate your participation.
This online questionnaire forms the first part of a research project I am carrying out at the University of Birmingham, and I’m hoping to reach as many corners of the UK as possible, and for this I need your help.
Please complete the appropriate questionnaire below, and share the links within your professional networks. For families to participate, they must have at least one other spoken language, apart from spoken English.
You’ll find the text and link for parents below. Feel free to copy and paste this into an email for them. The questionnaire takes max. 10 minutes to complete and you will have a chance to win a £20 Amazon voucher as well.
