Looks like one for the little kids

If you are interested in participating in the request below, please contact Holly directly at 775-843-0270 or h_seniuk@hotmail.com …..

Dear Colleagues,

My name is Holly Seniuk. I am a behavior analysis student in the Psychology Department at the University of Nevada, Reno. My advisor, Dr. Larry Williams and I, are conducting research on children with various developmental disabilities. Specifically, we are interested in learning why some children have difficulty with certain tasks. The long-range goal of this research is to develop a tool that will help teach children these skills more effectively.

We are currently recruiting participants who have autism or other developmental disabilities. Those who take part in the study will be asked to perform various tasks that involve matching blocks and putting blocks in buckets.

I am contacting you because your organization has regular contact with many parents of children with autism. If you know parents who may be interested in allowing their children to participate in a study where they would be taught these tasks for an hour a day on days that are convenient for the family, I would greatly appreciate your sharing the contents of this note along with our contact information. Also, you may post or mail out the attached flier if you would like to do so. Email and telephone are the best ways to reach me.

Thank you for your consideration,

Holly
