Please take a look, maybe you can assist with this study :) Mothers of child with Autism & Aggression needed for study!

Please share with professionals and families!!


I am a graduate student at Montclair State University in the Department
of Family and Child Studies. I am doing a study on mothers of children
with Autism who have also been aggressive toward other people.

I would like to interview mothers that have a child between the ages of 5
 - 21 years old who have Autism and have been aggressive more than once.

Interviews will be held from July through August 2013 and should last
about 60 minutes. You will not be paid to be in this study. All
information will be kept strictly confidential.

This study was approved by the MSU IRB board, # 001298, on Feb 20, 2013.

If you are interested in participating in this study, please contact me:
