My name is Anna Lee. I am a nursing doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am emailing you to ask for help.
I am working with Dr. Marcia Van Riper, nursing professor at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is active in research on families of children with Down Syndrome globally and she has a program of research concerning adaptation and resilience in families of individuals with Down Syndrome (https://nursing.unc.edu/people/marcia-van-riper/).
We are conducting a study concerning family factors and the quality of life in children with Down Syndrome. This study has been approved by the IRB at the University of North Carolina. I am wondering if you could let your members know my study and encourage them to participate in my study. This is a web-based online survey, using an individual electronic link. Once a survey is completed, the individual electronic link for the survey will become inactive.
Findings from this study will help health care providers and researchers to gain an in-depth understanding of the quality of life in children with Down Syndrome and families. I am attaching the invitation letter for the study. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my email. Have a great day!
My name is Cesar Colunga, I am currently an employee of EXPO New Mexico. This year The State Fair is designing an area called the "State Fair Sensory Station." We are aware that the State Fair can be an overly stimulating environment; we want to create an area that parents can take their children to an indoor private area who may need to deescalate. The area is open for anybody because it is a public space, however, the target market is to accommodate individuals who special needs, such as Autism or Down Syndrome. I have met with the New Mexico Autism Society and have gotten ideas and advice from them. I was wondering if I could potentially meet with somebody from the Rio Grande Down Syndrome Network, or if you could get me in contact with somebody that would know the answers to the questions I might have, and to questions I haven't even thought to ask yet. I am in charge of making this area a reality and the New Mexico State Fair is the first to include an area like this in their fair. I am determined to make this area a success and with the advice and guidance from the Rio Grande Down Syndrome Network, I know that this area shall be a success. As of right now, I am drawing most my inspiration from the Sensory-Friendly Hours of Explora.
