Research study: Calling early years teachers working with autistic students in mainstream and specialist schools

Hello everyone, My name is Marianna, and I am conducting my doctoral research on the use of video modelling in schools to support the learning and teaching of young autistic children (3-6 years of age). I would be extremely grateful if you would consider participating in an online interview (individual or small group) about your experiences of working with young autistic children and your thoughts on the use of video modelling as a teaching tool. The individual interview will last about 40 minutes. If you choose to participate in a small group interview , it will last about 60-70 minutes. If you would like further information, or you are willing to participate, please reach out to me. Many thanks for considering helping me with my study!
