RESEARCH PROJECT OPPORTUNITY on school experiences of autistic young people • please RT/share! Zineb Belouadah, a trainee Clinical Psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire, is inviting autistic young people (14-18) to join a research project to share their experiences in mainstream schools. This involves attending four online workshops where you’ll explore storytelling through photos, practice photography, and share what’s meaningful to you. Ethics: Your privacy is a priority. The study has full ethical approval, and you control what you choose to share. If you are interested then please fill out this form: shorturl.at/RCMYN or email Zineb if you have any questions.
