New research study testing an intervention to support autistic adults and their families

[Daina Tagavi]

Hello all,

I’m reaching out to share a research opportunity that may be of interest to autistic adults within the College Autism Network and their caregivers. We are currently recruiting participants for a study that is testing a new intervention, the RUBI Program for Autistic Adults.

We are looking for:

• Autistic adults and their caregivers who currently live together and may experience behavioral challenges that impact daily routines, safety, self-care, and/or quality of life.

Participation involves:

• Attending intervention sessions
• Completing study measures over a 20-week period
• Participants can receive up to $215 for their time

I’ve attached our flyer with more information to this email.

If you or anyone you know would like more information, they can contact us at 206-884-8892 or ru...@seattlechildrens.org. Participants are accepted on a rolling basis through Winter 2026.

Thank you so much for your time and help in spreading the word! Please let me know if you have any questions.

All the best,

Daina
