<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white;vertical-align:bottom">
<span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">Hello, my name is Casie Bullen and I am a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling track at Youngstown State University (YSU). I am a graduate assistant and am conducting research with the supervision
of the professor I work for, Dr. Sung Hee Lee, who is a Special Education teacher for undergraduate and graduate level courses. I am also being supervised by Dr. Amy Williams, an assistant professor at YSU who has expertise in research and the field of counseling.
</span><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white;vertical-align:bottom">
<span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">The purpose of the research is to investigate how school counselors use and perceive technology-based applications, or apps, to support elementary school students with disabilities. This study is titled
<i>K-5 School Counselors' Use and Perception of Apps for Students with Disabilities.
</i>We will conduct an online survey through SurveyMonkey.com. This research has already been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in the Office of Research at YSU.</span><span style="color:black">

<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white;vertical-align:bottom">
<span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">The participants we are recruiting are going to be K-5 school counselors in the entire state of Ohio. Yet, I do not have access to this information. I was wondering if there was a way to receive an email list of
the previous graduates in your school counseling program to be able to email my survey to? Or, I would like to know if you can please forward my survey through your listserv. If this option is more appropriate, and if possible, it would be very beneficial
to receive the number of members that will be emailed for future publication information (e.g. “100 individuals participated in this survey and 500 were contacted”).

<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white;vertical-align:bottom">
<span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">All the information will be confidential and no personal contact information will be collected including the IP address. There are no foreseeable risks or benefits to the counselors, however, their participation
will aid in the understanding of how other K-5 counselors use and perceive apps as tools for counseling students with disabilities.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white;vertical-align:bottom">
