Project end date: Ongoing project

Contact project organizer

This Dalhousie University study will explore resilience and stress experienced by families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers are also interested in understanding the strategies families and children use to cope with challenges, as well as available resources and gaps in services to promote family’s resilience. Participants must be: persons living with ASD (above 15 years), a guardian/parent of a person with ASD, or a healthcare service provider of young people living with ASD. Participants will speak with a member of the research team during a 60-minute individual interview either over phone or via Skype, whichever is convenient, to share ideas and perspectives. By participating in this interview, participants will be given a gift card (e.g., Amazon, based on your choice), valued at $30.
