Virtual Future is Now (VFIN) Research Study: Online future planning for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) & their families in Kansas.
Are you worried about what will happen to your loved one as you get older? Do you find the process of planning for the future overwhelming?
If yes, you might be eligible to join the VFIN research study, which is testing the effectiveness of an online future planning training at the University of Illinois Chicago for adults with IDD & their families in Kansas.
The VFIN research study will randomly assign families to be part of the intervention or control group. All family caregivers and adults with IDD will complete pre- and post- tests.
- Families assigned to the intervention group will receive a 6-week training with weekly 1.5 hour Zoom classes from August 27 to October 1 on Tuesdays and two Wednesdays from 6-7:30 pm CT.
- Families assigned to the control group will receive access to the self-paced materials after the post-test is completed.
