Report on Development of Children with Disabilities’ and Parents’ Wellbeing and Inclusion Checklist tool 2022 - Phase 1

This report describes a piece of participatory research undertaken in 2022 as part of the UK-aid funded Disability Inclusive Development programme. Under this programme, Task Order 27 developed a model of disability-inclusive education in selected schools in Kaduna State, Nigeria and the authors of this report worked on the development of a tool to measure how children with disabilities (and their parents) perceive their inclusion in school and society, as well as their wellbeing. The tool was developed in a way which was informed by what children themselves see as important. It was also designed to show changes in experiences and perceptions overtime through repeated use of the tool over a one-year period. This report describes Phase 1 which covers the process of planning, designing and testing the tool.
