We are looking to invite families who have a child with autism (and intellectual disability) and a typically developing sibling (aged between 6-16 years) to participate in our research study. Funded by the Baily Thomas Foundation and with University ethical approval, this study investigates sibling relations – looking at how siblings play together and how their emotional wellbeing relates to how they get on when they are together.
We are therefore writing to enquire whether it would be possible for the email below to be circulated to the parents/carers of any pupils in your school with a diagnosis of autism (and intellectual disability).
If any families are interested in taking part in this study, they can directly contact the research team.
At this stage we are not seeking for you to do anything beyond forwarding the invitation to relevant families.
We would really appreciate it if you feel that you can support this request. Please contact us if you would like any further information about the project.
