About the project (short plain English summary)

- Supported their child in receiving behavioural support as a child (e.g., ABA or PBS).
- Have completed the transition from child to adult services.
What they will ask you to do
You will be asked to take part in a one-hour individual interview online, where you will discuss your caregiving experience during the transition from children’s behavioural services to adult services.
What you will be offered for your time
