Social and Emotional Skills & Mental Health in Autistic Children

Project end date: December 25, 2024

Researchers at the University of British Columbia are investigating how social and emotional skills (the way in which we are aware of and can manage our own emotions) may predict levels of anxiety and depression in autistic children and youth. Parents/caregivers of children, aged 9-15 who have a medical diagnosis or an educational classification of ASD, will be asked to complete a 17-20 minute online survey. This research will provide rich data to assist schools and communities in understanding and creating environments to support mental health. Participants will have the choice to be entered into a draw to win 1 of 3 $50 gift cards.
