Study on Siblings of Children with ASD

July 13, 2012

I'm studying the Resilience of Siblings of children with ASD and it's

relationship to social support. I'd love some help in reaching out to siblings

that might want to participate in this online survey. I'd greatly appreciate you

passing this information along, as this is an area that is greatly lacking in

research. See below for more info:

My name is Medrano and I am a doctoral student at the California School

of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in San Francisco.

As part of my graduate program I am conducting research about siblings of

children with autism and social support. I'm hoping that someone in your family

will want to participate. To be eligible, siblings must be between the ages of

9-11 and have parental permission. Participation consists of filling out one

questionnaire for parents that should take a total of about 5 minutes and two

questionnaires for children, which should take approximately 25 minutes. Upon

completion of the surveys, participants will receive a $5 gift card for

Starbucks. Participation is anonymous; however, the gift card will be sent via

e-mail; therefore an e-mail address must be provided to receive the gift card.

My study has been reviewed by the Institutional Review Board at my institution

to ensure that I have followed ethical protocols in designing and conducting my

study. If you are a parent and think your child would be interested, please go

to the following website, which will tell you more about the study. After you

read this information and sign the information letter, then your child may

access the site.
