FSCD Specialized Services Collaboration- Families

Survey for Families using FSCD Specialized Services Funding

My name is Nicole Grocock and I am currently enrolled in a Master’s of Arts in Special Education with a Focus on Behaviour Support at the University of Arizona. After completing a class project on collaborating with FSCD Specialized Services teams, I decided to expand on that research for my final masters project.

My research topic is on collaborating with multidisciplinary teams for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities which access FCSD specialized services funding within Alberta. For this project, I am expanding the population groups to include both Speech Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists rather than only BCBAs and families. Based on the results of the surveys I will develop a set of guidelines for BCBAs on how to better collaborate with other professionals on their specialized services teams.

Participation Criteria for Families:
1. Accessing FSCD Specialized Services currently or within the past 5 years

2. Funding can be family managed or FSCD managed as long as the Specialized Services team includes a BCBA and at least one of the following professionals: OT or SLP.

Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and anonymous. By clicking 'ok', you are agreeing that you are over the age of 18 as well as allowing me to analyze the data and share with my instructor. You can stop the survey and participation in this research at any time without penalty.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in my research project. Please complete this survey by June 22nd, 2020.
