Participate in our studies!

We are currently recruiting online focus groups to provide feedback as we develop TASK, a transition-planning program that will provide resources to teachers to support students with autism and their families in accessing adult disability services. We are recruiting students, teachers, parents, and service providers in TN to participate in online focus groups (or individual interviews if the student prefers).
