Dear Parent/ Primary caregiver,

Apoorva Sriram, a PhD student at Te Herenga Waka–Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand is conducting an exciting research in association with DIRECT. She is studying parent-child interactions (PCI) among caregivers and their children with autism, within the context of India. She is particularly interested in understanding the different contexts within which caregivers and their autistic children interact to develop a program that effectively supports positive caregiver-child interactions.

*If you are a primary caregiver to a 4-6 year old child with autism, we would really like your help.*

We would like you to complete this survey which will take about 30-35 minutes of your time. You will be considered for a lucky draw in which five participants will get a chance to win a Hamleys gift voucher worth Rs. 1000/- each. Please share this post along with the message with people you think will be interested in participating in this study. Here's the link to the questionnaire:
