Research Study Description

My dissertation focuses on understanding the relationship among creative activity participation and communication competence for Adults with Level I ASD. Creative endeavors are inherently communicative. And I think that encouraging participation in them for these individuals could provide a necessary supplement to treatment, or provide individuals skills while they await treatment. It’s cost-effective and easy to access, particularly for individuals who are on long wait-lists or find treatment too expensive. Since communication challenges are a cornerstone of an ASD diagnosis, creative activities can provide a conduit for gaining valuable skills in communication. Further research can explore that.
