Request from ARC for a couple of volunteers
Dear Cambridge NAS,
We are once again running professional training courses
on diagnostic instruments, and are seeking volunteers to assist with our
course in September. We seek an able adult or adolescent with a diagnosis of
AS, HFA or ASD to come in on Tuesday September 14th 2010 between 1.30 and
2.30pm to do a friendly interview in front of 12 professionals who are
learning how to do interview assessments for ASD. 6 people will take turns to
do one or two activities with the volunteer. There are no 'tests' and it
should be fairly relaxed.
We are also seeking a preschooler with a diagnosis to come in on Thursday
September 16th between 1.30 and 2.30pm for a play-based session, again with
12 observers, and with up to 6 people taking turns to do a playful activity
with the child. The session is designed to be 'fun' and again does not
involve any testing. Parents can of course be present throughout.
For each volunteer we are able to offer a payment of £60 for your time, and
we also provide a short feedback once the training has concluded. The venue
for each session is the Moller Centre in Cambridge.
Can anyone who is interested please email me on dr.fjscott@virgin.net
many thanks!
Dr Fiona Scott, Chartered Psychologist Spectrum SCL & Visiting Academic
