Healthy Adjustment in Teens Study (HATS) Post

[Guest guest]

Researchers at Loyola University Chicago are conducting a study to

understand what contributes to better adjustment in high functioning

adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and are looking for

participants. To be in the study, your child must: Be between 12 and 17

years of age, have a current diagnosis of Autism, Asperger’s Disorder,

or Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS),

read at a 6th grade reading level, and be able to verbally communicate

on a regular basis with family and peers.

By being in this study, you and your child will answer questions about

your child’s adjustment, social abilities, friendship quality, and

executive function abilities. You and your child will be given the

option of filling out paper measures or completing the measures online.

It should take approximately 35 minutes for parents and 10 minutes for

youth to fill out the forms. You will each earn a $10 Target gift card

for your participation in the study.

If you have any questions or would like to participate in the study,

please contact hast@...

Have a great day!
