Conversational skills research study: Marcus Autism Center

[Guest guest]

Dear members of listserv,

As part of my dissertation research, I am conducting a study on the effects of

motivation on conversational skills in children with ASD. I am looking to

recruit four participants for this study.

In order to participate, children should be between the ages of 6-12 years.

Additionally, they should meet the following requirements:

They should possess:

1. Strong verbal imitation skills (be able to imitate 4-5 word phrases).

2. Be able to answer simple wh- questions (what is your name etc.) with minimal

to no prompting.

3. Seldom ask questions or initiate interaction with others.

4. They should not have any problem behaviors.

If the child uses language " only " to request preferred items or are non-vocal,

they will not qualify for the study.

If you think your child meets the above criterion and you are willing to

participate in the study, please contact me at 573 39 0269 or send me an email:

geetikaagarwal@... or gaq3f@....

Warm regards,

Geetika
