Research Study on Youth Friendships and Dating

Flyer-page-001.jpg

Parents and their youth (16-19 years old) are invited to participate in a study on friendship and dating experiences in young people with developmental disabilities.

Youth do not have to date to participate. The study will take about 1 hour and will help researchers learn more about how youth friendships and dating develop.

You will get a $5 gift card for Tim Hortons as a thank you for taking part in this study.

If you are interested or want to learn more, please call or e-mail the primary researcher,

Mrs. Marina Heifetz
