Gathering Feedback on a Vaccination Social Story to Help Autistic Children and Their Caregivers
Project end date: May 30, 2025
The Pediatric Pain, Health and Communication Lab (run by Dr. Meghan McMurtry) at the University of Guelph is currently recruiting participants for our research project: “Gathering Feedback on a Vaccination Social Story to Help Autistic Children and Their Caregivers.”
We are looking to gain feedback from:
- Autistic youth (ages 7-18 years) and their caregivers (18+)
- Professionals who work with autistic youth (e.g., occupational therapists)
- Professionals who give vaccinations (e.g., nurses).
Participating would involve a screening phone call, the option to review our Social Story about vaccination before an interview (if desired), and then attending either an ~hour long virtual interview (for child-caregiver pairs) or focus group (for professionals) in which the Social Story is reviewed and then questions are asked about it (e.g., what do you like or dislike?).
