My name is Arlee Vallin, and I am an undergraduate Biospychology major with a minor in
Speech, Language, and Science Disorders at UCSB. I am conducting a research study examining
the experiences of Latinx families with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD) who communicate via augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, and
more specifically, understanding parents’ perspectives and experiences with these tools. I am
also interested in examining the different perspectives of each parent within one family.
If you are interested, participating involves completing an online survey that will take
approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your participation is completely voluntary, and your
responses are completely confidential.
If you are interested in participating, please use the link below to access the survey. We welcome
multiple surveys per family; do one survey per parent:

I’m going to put this out there - I have some funds to run lab experiments involving prosody and segmental articulation. I’m happy to collaborate with people who want to do this work but don’t have much funding, especially given the federal funding catastrophe.
