Subject: Invitation to
Participate in a National Survey of Speech-Language
Pathologists
My name is Lily Nalty, M.A., CCC-SLP. I am conducting a survey
to help with earlier identification of children wit h Autism
Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in support of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) “Learn the Signs. Act Early.”
Campaign.
All Speech-Language Pathologists who work with young
children 6 years of age or younger are invited to take part
in this important survey. Speech-Language Pathology
graduate students working under the supervision of a
certified Speech-Language Pathologist may also participate.
The survey consists of 20 items and should take no more than
5-10 minutes. The purpose is to learn what Speech-Language
Pathologists presently do and what they recommend to support
their role in helping families reach a diagnosis of autism
sooner.
It will be available through July 31, 2009.
If you have already completed this survey through
another invitation, please do not complete another one.
