Parents of children with autism are invited to participate in a free virtual research study designed to teach essential caregiving skills.

The six-week program, conducted via Microsoft Teams, features weekly 60-minute group sessions and covers six key techniques aimed at supporting children with autism.

The study is led by Rebecca Stayton, a Martin County native completing her Ph.D. in school psychology at Ball State University while interning at Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health. The program is part of her doctoral research.

To participate, your child must be enrolled in a K-5 classroom and have a confirmed ASD diagnosis. You will need access to the internet and a technology device.

Registration is open through Feb. 28.

For more information or to enroll, email Stayton at rstayton@devereux.org or call/text 267-201-4376.
