With funding from the U.S. Department of Education, 3C Institute is looking for individuals with high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HF-ASD), their parents, and educators to give us feedback on the current resources you are using to prepare for the PSE transition and feedback on our web-based program

If your child is eligible, and you and your child are chosen to participate in the study, you will be asked to:

Contact your child’s teacher or school provider about their participation in the study.

Complete online consent material.

Complete questionnaires two times (now and again in about 8 weeks) regarding your child’s motivation to pursue postsecondary education and his/her PSE-related skills. Both your child and the school provider will complete these questionnaires.

Answer questions regarding the tools, resources and practices that you use to help prepare your child for postsecondary education
