The focus of the research project is to determine a more effective teaching method in using the time between each trial during discrete trial teaching. The skills that will be taught will vary according to the child's need, but will consist of language development and expansion. We are looking for children ages 3 to 7 years old diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and who engage in some repetitive behaviors.

I am a grad student at KU and I am currently working on a study (my dissertation) where I use video iPods to teach job skills to young adults (16-29) with autism (ASD) in employment settings.  I am trying to find a couple students with autism in the Lawrence or surrounding area that I could work with who are currently employed (paid or unpaid so it could be a situation where they are volunteering).
