Participants Needed for Eight-Week Parenting Group for Caregivers of Autistic Children
Flyer for the research study
Participants are needed for a study to pilot a parenting intervention adapted for caregivers of autistic youth this summer. Caregivers who participate in this assessment will have the opportunity to earn up to $150 for completing measures. Caregivers will also be randomly selected to participate in a free eight-week group therapy program focused on parenting skills. The group will start the week of June 10, 2024, and the day and time for the group will be determined based on participant availability. Participants should be caregivers of an autistic child ages two and a half to six years old.
Interested caregivers are encouraged to contact fciparentskills@gmail.com to see if they are eligible.
