Has your child been distressed about attending school?

We are inviting autistic students with intellectual disability and parents/carers to participate in a research study to share their experiences of emotionally related school attendance challenges so we can better understand and support these students.

🔵Who is eligible?

Parents/carers whose child:
- is 5 to 18 years old
- is autistic and has an intellectual disability
- has experienced emotionally related school attendance challenges within the last 2 years.

Students who:
- are 5 to 18 years old
- are autistic and have an intellectual disability
- have experienced emotionally related school attendance challenges within the last 2 years
- are able to understand simple verbal instructions and symbols
- are able to express themselves and their preferences through short sentences (verbally or with AAC)

🔵What's involved?

For parent/carer participation:
- A face-to-face or video call interview (30–45 minutes)

For combined parent/carer and child participation:
- Initial screening call with you and your child (if participating)
- A brief face-to-face interview with your child (using a special method, “Talking Mats”, that supports young people to express their perspectives)
-A face-to-face or video call interview (30–45 minutes)
