Wellbeing in children with
neurological conditions
DAWBA stands for Development And Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) and it is a questionnaire that you can fill in online.
The DAWBA is designed to enquire about your child’s emotions and behaviour in the recent past. Each individual question may ask about difficulties within different timeframes. Some may ask about your child in the past month, others the past 6 months and others in the past year. There is also a version of the DAWBA for young people to answer questions about their wellbeing.

You and your child will use a ‘self-help’ workbook based on cognitive behavioural therapy (‘CBT’) strategies, over a course of 10 weeks. These go through strategies that research has shown to be helpful in reducing symptoms of anxiety, mood or behavioural problems in children and young people. The researcher can tell you about what the therapies involve in more detail. A helper will guide you through these workbooks. You and/or your child will meet with the helper approximately a further five times during the 10 weeks. These appointments may be over the phone, or Skype if you prefer this.
The meetings (including any over the phone or Skype) will be video or audio recorded, so that we can make sure that all of the helpers are delivering the same therapy.
We want to hear about your experience of taking part in our project. We are interested in what you thought went well as well as anything we could be doing better. This will help us make changes and improve to ensure we are doing things in the best way for the families we are working with.
