Dear Colleagues,
You are being invited to participate in an important research study regarding disability and disability-competent care in social work field education. The information gained will be used to better understand how to create meaningful field placements within the field of disability; accommodate students with disabilities in field education; and, support field instructors and liaisons who themselves have disabilities.
If you would like to learn more and/or participate in this study, please click here to be taken to a brief survey that should take you no more than 15 minutes to complete (Direct Link: https://bit.ly/3LUSOBc).

At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you wish to be entered into a raffle to win either a complete set of Binghamton University's Social Work Superheroes or a $50 Amazon gift card.

You will also be asked if you wish to participate in an hour-long focus group later this month; all focus group participants will receive a $10 gift card to either Amazon or Starbucks.
