The Quebec Observatory on Caregiving is seeking to collect first-hand accounts from parent caregivers of autistic children to enhance its publications and raise awareness among its target audiences. By participating, you will be given the opportunity to contribute to the Observatory’s mission since, with your consent, parts of your story may be included in various publications and shared on different platforms.

If you are interested, you will be invited to take part in a 30- to 45-minute discussion with a member of our team, during which you can recount your journey and share your experience as a caregiver. This conversation can take place online or in person, depending on your preference. It will be recorded and transcribed to ensure the faithful representation of your words, in the interest of respecting and understanding your experience.

To participate or for any questions, please contact Margaux Reiss (team leader): [email protected].
