Projects requiring participants

Why do research?

High quality research is essential to enable us to develop better understanding of Autism and to develop better interventions in the future. 

Why should you get involved?

Researchers are always looking for participants for their projects – the more participants, the greater the chances of meaningful results that reflect the wide range of issues that people with Autism and their families face. So get involved where you can – it will help improve our knowledge and it may benefit you!
