Are you the parent or carer of a young person with Down syndrome? thumbnail.

The Melbourne Graduate School of Education and Down Syndrome Victoria invite you to participate in our study investigating the decision-making process for parents of children with Down syndrome when deciding which secondary school their child will attend.

  • Is your child in Year 5 or 6 in a mainstream primary school and you are in the process of making the decision about where to send your child to secondary school?
  • Do you have a child in any secondary school setting who went to a mainstream primary school?

Time commitment and location:

Participants will be asked to join in a one-hour online interview between February and April 2023. All parts of the project will happen online via Zoom.

Participants may benefit from:

An opportunity to share their decision-making process and a chance to support others.
