Understanding Everyday Challenges Parents Face

We’re trying to better understand how parents support children through everyday challenges and moments that can be harder or more demanding.

This includes families with autistic or neurodivergent children, as well as families who are still figuring out what support their child needs.

You can also choose to stay in touch or opt into future research.
