This is a research study for families with children 5-7 years old who have ASD. I am not involved with the study, but I am acquainted with Dr. John Carpente 's research. Please share!

We are currently enrolling families for an exciting research study at The Rebecca Center at Molloy University.

We are seeking autistic children ages 5 to 7 and their parents or caregivers to participate in a play based study focused on strengthening parent child interaction.

Families who participate will receive:

-Free comprehensive evaluation
-Free training in DIRFloortime
-Free 6 week remote parent coaching program

All sessions conducted by trained professionals

This study is designed to support meaningful connection, engagement, and developmental growth within the parent child relationship.

If you or someone you know may be interested, please reach out directly to Dr. John Carpente at 516.323.3325 or jcarpente@molloy.edu

Please feel free to share this post with families, educators, and community partners who may benefit.
