Research study: Disability support staff - Supporting autistic Speech Pathology students on placement
A research team comprising staff from Australian Catholic University and autistic researchers wants to hear from disability support staff who have discussed reasonable adjustments and accommodations for placement with one or more speech pathology students.
Autistic clinicians bring a unique viewpoint to the profession, and our study needs your help to create a framework to support our autistic students through their first exposures to the professional Speech Pathology world via placement.
Participation will involve an initial 15-minute survey followed by several Delphi survey rounds, taking an estimated 20 minutes each. There is also an option to participate in a focus group. Responses will be made anonymous and disseminated to participants to share ideas and knowledge.
Closing date: Friday 4 July 2025
Approval for this study has been received from the ACU Human Research Ethics Committee.
