Call for research participants!

For one of our current research projects, we are looking for people who self-identify as neurodivergent or experiencing a disability to participate in a group session where we discuss barriers you have encountered on campus. Participants will attend a two-hour session involving a group discussion and mapping activity. A $15 dollar gift card will be given as a thank you for your participation. 

If you are interested in sharing your experiences with our research group, please fill out the survey below with your contact information and availability. Once your survey is submitted, a research team member will follow up with you regarding session details. 

For any questions, please contact kassi.boyd@ucalgary.ca or victoria.fast@ucalgary.ca
