Cerebra funded projects carried out by CIDD include:
The 1000 Families Study is a longitudinal study involving a large cohort of families of children with a learning disability living in the UK. The aim of the study is to explore the wellbeing of children with learning disability, siblings, caregivers, and families overall.
The Positive Family Connections Programme focuses on helping families to build positive relationships within their family, and is delivered online in six sessions. It was co-produced by family carers, and is designed for family carers of children with a learning disability, autism, or both. In the Positive Family Connections study, we will be testing out the co-produced programme with around 60 family carers to see if it will be possible to run a much larger study in the future.
Digital Wellbeing Interventions For Family Carers is a new systematic review of digital wellbeing interventions for family carers of people with a learning disability, autism/who are autistic, or both. Read more here.
