families who have children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is most relevant to parents who are adjusting to a child’s recent ASD diagnosis, but the materials are freely available to anyone with an interest in learning about ASDs.
Participation in this project is completely voluntary. If you choose to participate in the eLearning project you will have the opportunity to access interactive online learning modules to help you learn new ways to help your child and family. The modules cover
• What Autism is,
• ASD Treatments,
• Changing Behavior,
• Stress Management and Coping, and
• Navigating Systems.
These online learning modules are free and you can stop participating at any time. One participant will win a $25 electronic gift certificate! You can also choose to receive feedback on your levels of stress and self-efficacy after completing optional follow up surveys.
