Project Title:Examining School Psychologists' Decision Making and Subsequent Recommendations for Students with a Prior Early Childhood Diagnosis of Malignant Brain Tumor
Dear School Psychologist,
We writing to ask for your participation in the dissertation research study below. The study is approved by the University of Florida’s Institutional Review Board (# IRB202201439).

If you choose to participate, you will be asked to review a vignette describing hypothetical student evaluation data. Please consider spending approximately 20 minutes to complete the study. Your participation will be anonymous.
Each 10th participant will earn a $20.00 gift card.
