$20 gift card to take a survey researching sibling issues

[Guest guest]

My name is Keri Anne Israelski, I am a doctorate student at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In previous years I have worked as a home-based Verbal Behavior therapist for children with autism. As I was working in homes and getting to know the families, the effect the child's disability had on the siblings became an issue of interest to me. As a result, I chose to do my doctoral dissertation on the coping processes employed by siblings of people diagnosed with pervasive developmental disabilities (PDD). This category includes the diagnoses of : Rett's Disorder, Aspergers Disorder, Autistic Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, and/or PDD NOS. Having a PDD is also referred to as being on the autism spectrum. If you are a sibling of a person that fits the above criteria and are 21 years of age or over I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to complete my survey. The first 25

respondents will receivea visa gift card for $20. After you have completed the survey please email me at Ker1227aol (DOT) com or K.Israelski with your name and address and I will send out the visa gift card. The survey consists of a few demographic questions, the Ways of Coping Questionnaire by Folkman and Lazarus, as well as few qualitative questions at the conclusion of the survey. It should take approximately 20-30 minutes. The results from this survey will provide information about the coping processes of siblings of people diagnosed with PDD. Others working with siblings to help them explore their coping resources can use these results in the future. Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you have a minute and would like to earn some extra money please take pity on a desperate

doctoral student and take a look at the survey, thanks : )http://www.surveymonkey.com/ s.aspx?sm= zXQC2UJg16yhRk29 6JFWcg_3d_ 3d If this link does not work please email me at Ker1227@... and I will send you the link a different way. Thank you : )
