Hi there! I am a graduate student at
the University of California, Santa Barbara, and I, along with a team of
autistic and non-autistic researchers, am working on a study regarding autistic
individuals' perspectives on intervention/education. Below are details of the study and a link to the survey. Please let me know if you
have any questions.
Often intervention and education for autistic children is
designed and implemented without any input from autistic individuals themselves.
This is why researchers in the Department of Education at UC Santa Barbara are
recruiting autistic adults to participate in a study in which they will be
asked to give feedback on different aspects of common intervention programs for
autistic children. The study consists of an online survey that will take
approximately 20-45 minutes to complete. The survey includes five short video
clips of young children participating in intervention and a list of statements
about common intervention goals and strategies. Participants will be asked to
provide their opinions about these items. The videos might make some
participants feel anxious, distressed, or frustrated. If this is the case,
participants can choose to stop participating at any point during the study.
Potential participants must be autistic (formally- or self-diagnosed) and be at least 18
years old. Non-US participants are welcome!
