The purpose of this research study is to identify the sensory interventions and strategies that caregivers consider the most effective at treating or managing their child's sensory reactivity symptoms. You are being asked to take part in a research study because you are a caregiver of a child with autism spectrum disorder or a related neurodevelopmental disorder.
Participation in the research study is voluntary. You can agree to join or not. You can also say yes now, and change your mind later. Deciding not to be in the research study, now or later, will not affect your ability to receive medical care at Mount Sinai.
If you choose to take part, you will be asked to complete this survey, which will ask you to identify your child's sensory preferences and your satisfaction with the sensory interventions you use currently or have tried in the past. Your participation in this research study is expected to last 5-10 minutes. There are 500 people expected to take part in this research study.
You can choose not to answer any question you do not wish to answer. You can also choose to stop taking the survey at any time. You must be at least 18 years old to participate. If you are younger than 18 years old, please stop now.
The possible risks to you in taking part in this research are:
- You might feel uncomfortable answering some of the survey questions, but you do not have to answer any questions that you do not want to.
- Risk of loss of private information; this risk always exists, but there are procedures in place to minimize the risk and are collecting the surveys anonymously.
The possible benefits to you for taking part in this research are:
- There is no expected benefit to you participating in this survey, but your participation will help us evaluate sensory interventions designed for children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
