Are You Looking for More Ways to Support Your Autistic Child?
Do you have an autistic child between the ages of 2 1/2 and 7? Are you looking for more ways to support them? Join our research study!
The Family & Community Intervention Lab is recruiting caregivers of autistic children to take part in a study testing the effects of an eight-week parenting program on children's aggressive behaviors, parent stress levels and caregiver-child relationships. We will cover topics such as effective discipline and communication with your child and more! Caregivers who qualify and complete all measures can earn up to $150 for participation. The group will begin the week of June 10. Specific group dates will be dependent on caregiver availability.
