Autism Research Recruitment -- Friendship Study


We are inviting children with ASD, their parents and their typically developing peers to participate in interviews about making and maintaining friends. Through these one-on-one interviews we want to learn about how children with an ASD think about making and maintaining friendships. We would like to know how they define "friend". How they know when a person wants to be their friend and how they let another person know when they want to be their friend. We want to know how they think people meet friends, and what needs to be done to keep a friendship going over time. Participants do not have to have been successful in making friends or keeping friends to be eligible to participate in this project.

FGCU's 2nd Annual Children's Mental Health Conference 

"Action-Focused, Solution-Based, & Goal-Oriented"
 
We know that mental illnesses are treatable and recovery is possible. However, the process can be very challenging. Our focus this year is on building stronger linkages, networks, and resources within our community. You'll hear from successful professionals about new research and what has worked for them - participate in breakout sessions - hear "real life" stories during a panel discussion - visit a wide variety of non profit and for profit vendor booths available all day to help expand options and opportunities. Let's continue our community conversation to find solutions, create alliances, and help meet the needs of our children.
