New Study Alert! The COPE Study: Impact of the COvid-19 pandemic on PEople with autism

The Center for Youth Development and Intervention and the Autism Spectrum Disorders Clinic at the University of Alabama is conducting a research study to evaluate the challenges and adaptations made by caretakers/families of individuals with ASD and the clinicians and researchers who provide services for those with ASD and their families.  We are seeking to understand more information about unmet needs/changes that could be made in the case of future widespread natural/manmade disasters to better serve and inform the types of supports needed for families of individuals diagnosed with ASD as well as the clinicians and researchers who work with this population on a regular basis. 
 
If you are a caretaker/parent of a child with ASD or a professional who works with individuals with ASD (e.g., therapist, psychologist, teacher, researcher, etc.) we would like to invite you to participate in a short survey.  The survey should take you approximately 20 minutes.  If you would like more information concerning the research, please email [email protected] or phone 205-348-3438.
