Roads Ahead Study for Education Professionals
We are recruiting high school personnel (general and special educators, therapists, administrators) to participate in a study conducted by Boston University researchers. Researchers at the University of Maine are assisting in this study. Data will be collected and analyzed by Boston University. University of Maine researchers will only receive data summaries that do not include individual identifiers.
This research is funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) which is part of the Department of Education. We want to better understand the strategies and programs that schools use to support high school students with autism who are accessing the general education curriculum and planning to graduate with a regular high school diploma.
If you have direct experience working with this population and are willing to participate in a web-based survey, click on the survey link below.
Participants will have the opportunity to enter a raffle for one of two iPad tablets for use at their school. Please share this opportunity with all educational professionals who interact with students with autism.
