Participate in research looking into Trauma-Informed Special Education Practices. The survey is voluntary and will take less than 30 minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential, and will not be linked to you, your school, or your district when we talk about or write about this research. Teachers who complete the survey can provide contact information to be eligible to win one of five $50 gift cards. By completing the survey, you can help others in the field identify ways to improve trauma-informed practices to be more inclusive of students with autism, intellectual disability, and other developmental disabilities. Please forward this opportunity to other special education teachers that you know!
If you have any questions about this research, you can contact Sarah L. Rhyne with Vanderbilt University.
