Jamie Rock, MSN (PhD candidate), RN, is looking for adolescents (aged 14-22) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their parent/s to take part in an online study. The aim of the study is to better understand adolescents’ health practices and the transition process into adulthood for individuals with ASD and their families. This research is needed to develop resources and interventions supporting individuals on the spectrum and their families. Please see the flyer for study details.
Many siblings plan on being part of their sibling's future, but starting the conversation with current caregivers, oftentimes parents, can be difficult. What types of information should you talk about? What are the resources available? What supports are available? In this workshop, we discuss how to frame the issue and how to start this conversation and what types of supports and resources are available for you to move forward! Free lunch will be provided. This event is hosted by the Texas Sibling Network DFW Chapter.
