A team from the University of Alberta is attempting to improve the life outcomes of families affected by Neurodevelopmental Disorders by developing a chatbot. The verification of engagement strategies used in the Chatbot is critical to improving families’ experiences with the application.
What the participants will do?
The focus group is a one-time 45-60 minute online session with 1-4 other individuals. Participants will answer questions about their preferences for specific engagement strategies and converse with other participants in a round-table format. The audio and video of the session will be recorded for later analysis.
Who can participate?
Individuals who have a child with Neurodevelopmental Disability.

Together we may be able to give those diagnosed with NDDs (and their families) a better life experience.
The principal investigator of this study is Dr. Francois Bolduc, MD, PhD, FRCPC (www.bolduclab.com), in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta.
