Looking For Families Coping With Autism

Do you have a child with autism or PDD who is 6-12 years old? The Clinical Graduate Program of the Psychology Department at the University of Massachusetts (Boston) is conducting a study that will examine how families who have a school-age child
with autism are coping. The data is being collected through a survey that is mailed to the family. Families will receive $10 after returning the survey. There is a lack of research on the impact of autism in diverse groups, and therefore they are especially interested in recruiting families that will provide racial, ethnic, economic, and religious diversity. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Meg Manning at Margaret.manning001@umb.edu or (617) 287-6318. child-autism-parent-cafe.com
