Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, Baylor University, and the University of Maryland are recruiting caregivers of children ages 1–5 who are waiting for autism-related services (e.g., diagnostic evaluation, ABA, or early intervention) for the MENU research study (Modular Approach to Evidence-Based Practices for Newly Referred Underserved Families).
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a flexible, family-centered program designed to support caregiver well-being, children’s social communication, and challenging behaviors while families are waiting for services. Families may receive access to online modules and/or virtual support meetings over approximately 8 weeks. Compensation is available for participating families.
If you are a caregiver of a young child waiting for autism-related services, we invite you to participate in this virtual research study and complete the survey here. This will take approximately 30 minutes.
If you have questions about whether this survey is for you, please contact James Lee at james.lee@austin.utexas.edu. Thank you!
