Autistic SFU Students and Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) Study
Project end date: March 8, 2025
The Autism in Education Lab (AEL) and Autism and Developmental Disabilities Lab (ADDL) at SFU are recruiting participants for a study about the experiences of Autistic students in work-integrated learning (WIL) programs (e.g., co-op). For this study, we are interested in how work-integrated learning programs offered by postsecondary institutions could be more inclusive and accessible for Autistic students. This study was created by a team of Autistic and non-autistic research team members.
What do we want to know?
We are interested in better understanding the experiences of Autistic students navigating Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) programs.
Who are we looking for?
We are recruiting Autistic individuals who are currently completing a co-op placement or who previously participated in a co-op placement at SFU.
What to expect:
Participation in this study involves completing an online questionnaire and answering a series of questions about your WIL experiences. Your time commitment should you choose to participate will be approximately 1 hour. You will be compensated $20 for your time.
