The online version of the parent matrix has been developed for several reasons:
- It's easy to use. You are guided step-by-step through the process of entering the information and you do not have to leaf through pages that are not relevant to your child.
- It generates clear results that you can easily share with others.
- It's free. This is a free service that is available to anyone.
When you use this free service, we ask you to provide some very basic information about the individual that you are assessing
(gender, age, ethnic background, country of residence, disability and specific impairments) and your relationship to that person.
We DO NOT request any identifying information and we have no way of indentifying who has used this service. When you complete
the Matrix online, the information you provide will be stored. This information will provide valuable data about the communication
skills demonstrated by individuals with various disabilities. This information may be summarized in scientific reports, professional
presentations, articles in professional journals and book chapters.
