Call For Participants: Determining Priorities For Research in London Ontario
I have returned to school from medical leave and am now prepared to restart my fieldwork. If you are an Autistic adult living in London Ontario and wish to take part, please contact me at jellis39@uwo.ca. Participants will be invited to set the goals for and help design a larger research project on a topic they propose as important to the London Autistic community. You can choose to participate in interviews or focus groups or both.
The recruitment poster is here:
