The University of Queensland’s psychology clinic is asking parents of children aged 11 and under diagnosed with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (including Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome) to help in an important research project.

The project will ask parents to evaluate strategies from a new parenting program, Stepping Stones, designed for parents of a child with a disability. This will involve participation in a focus group and will provide valuable information about the appropriateness of the program.

Parents will be asked to attend one session at the Psychology clinic at the University of Queensland, St Lucia. The sessions will be running in July or early August.
