Looking for Families to Participate in Research Project on Asperger Syndrome
Margarete Bernath, a fourth-year Psy.D. candidate in School-Clinical Psychology at Yeshiva University in New York, is writing her dissertation on Asperger Syndrome, and is looking for families to participate in her research project. She seeks parents/caretakers of children ages 3 to 18 who would be willing to meet with her one or two times for approximately two hours per interview. Interviews will begin around May or June and may be scheduled at the family's convenience.
The goal of the research is to learn about parents' experiences in regard to diagnosis, educational placements, treatment options, and generally navigating the system in order to contribute to the existing literature on this diagnosis and to give more of a voice to the experiences of families. Margarete will ensure confidentiality of all identifying information, and is willing to meet parents at the location that is most convenient for them, within approximately a one-hour drive from Boston.
If you are interested in participating in this study, please contact Margarete Bernath at: margareteb@excite.com or (908) 752-2427.
