Engaging Siblings of Adults with Autism in Future Planning

RESEARCH STUDY

Boston University is doing a research study to develop a new program to increase siblings’ involvement in future planning for their brother/sister with autism spectrum disorder. We are looking for siblings, service providers, and adults with autism for this study. If you participate, you will either participate in a focus group or a one‐on‐one interview. You will be asked to share your ideas about whether families (i.e., adults with autism and siblings) would be interested in participating in a program about future planning, what should be included in this program, and the best format in which to implement the program.

Who? Adult siblings, adults with autism, and service providers
What? An interview or focus group
How long? 1‐2 hours
When? At a time convenient for you
Where? At a community location
Cost? No cost to participate. You will be compensated $20 for your participation in the study.

For more information please contact forward or (617) 358‐4293

About akutil86

Diagnosed with Aspergers at 34, this blog chronicles some of the life events I've gone through, and how I hope to help others on the Autism Spectrum. Posts that are personal opinions will be moving to another Wordpress site by the end of the year; for those looking for help with autism, I hope you will continue to visit and spread the word about the articles that most of the time are links to something I read. Please let me know what challenges you are facing, and I will do my best to address them. Thanks for reading my blog!
