Description:
Pakistani families with disabled children - exploring what kind of support is needed and how to get this support.

Do you have a disabled child (up to 12 years) in the family?

Are you finding it difficult to get support in looking after the child?

Would you like to think about why this is difficult and to find ways of explaining your support needs better so that they can be met?

You are cordially invited to come to an information meeting about a research project that is based on the above questions. It is aimed at families with children who have significant physical, intellectual, hearing or visual impairments.

This is a practical project in which ALL members of the family will carry out activities and learn new ways of working on this problem together.

The researcher is Debbie Kramer – Roy, a PhD student at Brunel University in Uxbridge. She has lived in Pakistan for many years where she has worked with disabled children and their families, communities and schools.

Debbie speaks Urdu fluently, so you do not need to be able to speak English to take part in the project.

Please also invite other families to come to the meeting!

If you are not sure whether this meeting is for you, please feel free to phone Debbie on 079 60820560

I want to help you and your family to find out how to get better help

This research project has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the School of Health Sciences and Social Care of Brunel University, Uxbridge UB8

If you were unable to attend the meeting, it is still not too late to benefit from taking part in the project! Please feel free to phone Debbie to find out more, as she will be happy to explain how the project will be helpful for your family! The number is 079 60820560
