Dear Staff members

I am currently conducting a PhD study in inclusive education at Wits University focusing on the inclusion of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in South African universities. As part of this research, I need to obtain the opinions and experiences of staff members of universities in South Africa with regards to catering for the needs of students with ASD and ADHD. If you are working in the disability unit of your university and would like to participate in this study, please fill in the questionnaire below which should take you about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. As this is a qualitative study, I would like you to please give as detailed a rely to each of the long answer questions as you see fit.

Please note that confidentiality and anonymity will be kept throughout the research process and the write-up of the resulting thesis. I look forward to seeing your contribution to this study, which I believe can inspire much needed change in the lives of neurodivergent individuals such as those with ASD and ADHD.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions regarding the research, my email address is included below.
