Survey's

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.

To participate in this confidential and anonymous survey, please link here-- http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Ys2uJvw_2fysvnpDc4K6UpKA_3d_3d. (Link should appear on 1 line.)

It will be available through July 31, 2009.

If you have already completed this survey through another invitation, please do not complete another one. ☼

Thank you.
