Please read the below information regarding research that you may wish to participate in:


Carrie Grennan is a researcher at Dublin City University/Queen’s University Belfast, and along with 3 other researchers is conducting a research project focusing on the autism community, as well as educators who work directly with this community.

Through an anonymous survey, members of the autistic community and educators will be asked to share their thoughts on the language used when talking about autism, as well as their priorities and satisfaction with individual educational planning (IEP).

At the conclusion of the study the researchers will be making recommendations to educators in order to increase the use of inclusive language in educational settings and improve individual education planning (IEP) for the autistic community.
