Hello,I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to fill out my survey. I am 20 participants shy from concluding the study, so if you have not taken the survey (its a short survey only 34 questions) please do :)Below you will find all the information about the study and the link to the survey

Thank you so much! Your participation is greatly appreciated it!

I am currently a full time graduate student in the Department of Communication Disorders at Paterson University . As partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree I am required to conduct an empirical research with the guidance of my thesis Supervisor. I have chosen to conduct a survey which examines the predicting factors that attribute to the decision process of treatment selection in parents of children with autism. This survey will look at factors such as the characteristics of the

parents, the child with autism, and the various treatments that have and are being used. This survey will also look at how and if quality of life (QOL) also plays a part in the decision making process. These predicting factors will then be taken into account to suggest better and more specific supports and interventions for families of children with autism. The goal of this study is to help both those in the profession and the general public gain an insight on how raising a child with autism greatly impacts the child's parents; as well as the factors that play a part in what treatment selections parents make in regards to their child's treatment.Participation in this study is voluntary and you may stop completing the survey at any time and you do not have to answer any question(s) you choose not to answer. You understand that your

identity will not be revealed in any way through participation in this study; you will not write your name on this document and the results will not be reported in a way that will reveal individual participants. If you do not want to complete this survey you may return it uncompleted as instructed for completed documents or you may keep it. If you choose to participate, you will complete this document by completing it online by November 12, 2010 .Here is the link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/predictingfactorsautismThanks in advance!!!!
