What a shame they're limiting the age on this. My high schooler is and has

been an avid gamer. I could have given them tons of feedback!

Dear Parents,

Researchers at Penn State University are initiating an exciting new

research

project and would like your help. We are trying to recruit parents whose

children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are between 8 and 12 years

old to

complete a survey about the video game behaviors of their children.

Participation in this study will involve completing a 10-15 minute survey

about

whether or not your child with ASD plays video games. If your child does

play

video games the survey will ask you to answer questions about the ways your

child engages with this media and how you feel about this activity as a

leisure

pursuit. If your child does not play video games the questions on the

survey

will follow-up on the types of activities that your child does engage in

during

leisure time. The information gathered will be used to determine how

preferred

activities, like video gaming, may be used to promote improvement of

social and

educational outcomes for children with ASD.

Dr. n Finke (/enh109@...) or Dr. Hickerson

(/bdh14@...) would be happy to answer any questions you may

have

about the study, or about the people we are trying to recruit as

participants.

important

project:

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this project,

n Finke, Ph.D. and Hickerson, Ph.D.

The Pennsylvania State University
