The project began
properly in April 2003. Between then and August 2007:-
|
 |
We identified
suitable questionnaires to assess each child's quality of life and participation. |
|
|
Toulouse, France identified the most suitable instrument to
assess the quality of life of children with learning difficulties.
|
|
|
Belfast, Northern Ireland, developed materials to give
information to, and seek consent from, parents and children.
|
|
|
Cork, Republic of Ireland, Grenoble, France, Göteborg, Sweden, Copenhagen, Denmark and Viterbo,
Italy, held focus groups
to explore relevant environmental factors with parents.
|
|
|
Home visits
were made to 818 children. |
|
|
Thirteen research papers are now published or in print (see Publications tabs). We
continue with further statistical analysis. |
|
|
We have a detailed plan of how results will be
disseminated to parents, national governments, European Union Parliament
and the European Commission. |
|
|
In January 2009 we obtained further
funding for SPARCLE 2. The young people will be visited again when
13-17 years old. |
|
|
IWe have had two SPARCLE 2 Workshops
