Survey of Kindersite users and Special Needs

[Guest guest]

We have recently completed a survey of Kindersite users. We have been

surprised that 21% of users are using the Kindersite http://www.

kindersite.org/ with a variety of Special needs children. As the

Kindersite currently has over 11,000 schools and about 5,000 parents,

this translates to about 2,300 schools, approx 50 children per school.

and 1,000 parents.

The main areas are:

Autism & Aspergers (across the spectrum) 30%

Learning/Cognitive and developmental 28%

Deaf & Hard of hearing 7%

Down Syndrome 7%

ASHD 7%

Other (including cerebral Palsy, Vision, TBI etc.) 11%

The survey also gained evidence how the Kindersite is being used in

Special Needs situations. We will be publishing the survey on the

Kindersite soon.

We obviously welcome new users, the Kindersite does not require any

payment. We do ask users for feedback on the project, though. We use

the feedback to update and improve the site/project.

Thank you.
