Researchers at Ohio State University and Rush University would like to invite you to participate in a survey about topics and priorities for early intervention research in the autism community. As autistic people, parents, providers, and researchers, they believe you have important information to contribute to this topic.

This study aims to collect feedback on a research agenda, a document discussing priorities in early intervention research for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The draft research agenda was created by researchers and stakeholder teams made up of autistic adults, parents, and early intervention professionals. The goal of this survey is to learn more about perspectives on research and early intervention from adults with autism, parents and caregivers, autism providers and professionals, and researchers in the autism community.

If you are interested in participating, you would be asked to read segments of a research agenda and answer some questions about your thoughts. This survey will take about 30 minutes to complete. To accommodate diverse needs, alternative administration formats will be available (e.g., interview over phone). Participants may have a support person to assist with survey completion, and can contact the research team for alternate options. If you choose to complete the survey, you may enter a raffle drawing to receive a $20 Amazon gift card as a thank-you for your participation in the research study.
