YOUR COMMUNITY

Have Your Say

Share your thoughts, take part in online discussions, voting polls, surveys and consultations via the links below.

We encourage you to get involved as it’s so important for you to have your say and give feedback as it guides and develops approaches to delivery of improved outcomes to the neuromuscular community.

We’ll update this page as new ways to have your say are sent to us to share with you. Please note that most of these consultations/surveys/calls for participation are not put together by MDWA so you will need to follow the links through to find out how to get involved.

RESEARCH: Participation in children and teenagers with a neuromuscular condition

Facilitated by Telethon Kids Insititute

Researchers at the Telethon Kids Institute would like to talk with children and teenagers aged 5 to 18 years and their parents about how they participate at home or school and in the community. This will help them to better understand what helps or are barriers to participation. They will also learn how to support children to participate in activities that are meaningful to them.
