Help with Minecraft Research for ipad Prize Draw

Omar Alawajee, a PhD student at the University of Strathclyde, is studying the challenges autism or deafness can bring to a child’s health and social environment. Omar is conducting research exploring whether online computer games, specifically Minecraft , have an impact on children’s social, emotional, and behavioural development as well as their relationship skills.

The research aims to explore parents’ or guardians’ thoughts on their child playing Minecraft, whether Minecraft influences children and whether the game itself can be used positively to encourage social relations.

Participants will be included in a prize selection of an iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi 32GB.

If you are the parent or guardian of a child with autism or who is deaf/hearing impaired and would like to know more about this research project, click here.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
