Wandering research study on GPS tracking devices
|
|
Many parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are concerned about their child wandering away from safe supervision. Some parents who are worried about wandering choose to have their child wear an electronic tracking device (ETD) that may help them to find their child if he or she wanders away. Researchers at Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York are conducting a new study to learn more about how using an ETD affects children with ASDs who wander and their families. If you participate in this study, you will be loaned an AngelSense Guardian tracking device to use for free for 6 weeks. When you first enroll in the study, you will be asked to spend about an hour filling out questionnaires that will provide background information about you and your child. For the rest of the study, you will be asked to fill out a quick, online questionnaire once per week. We expect that each weekly questionnaire will take you less than 15 minutes to complete. Additionally, every time your child wanders, you will be asked to answer a few questions about the wandering incident.
To find out if you are eligible to participate in this study, click the link below to complete the Screening Questionnaire, or email the research team at

Peak Potenial Summer Camps
|
|
Sparties Running Program is an established running program for children on the autism spectrum in the Greater Cleveland area. The ultimate goal of the Sparties Running Team is to connect Case Western's student athletes (and any friends!) with local autistic spectrum students to encourage a passion for exercise, specifically, running. Our program will strive to increase the self confidence and skill levels of its runners by providing a positive, supportive environment. Additionally, we hope to create valuable connections and a welcoming community space for the parents of our runners. Each runner will work with 1 or more coaches (CWRU athletes) to ensure participation and connections.
The program will be free of cost to all families. The aim is to have each athlete, with the permission of his or her guardian and coach, participate in one fun run (1-2 miles) per semester.
The program will take place at the Veale Athletic Center at Case Western
Reserve University, 2138 Adelbert Road, Cleveland, OH, 44106. There is a parking garage right next to the athletic center, and once you are in, you follow the path into the front entrance at Veale (we will be outside to show you) and you will have to sign in at the entrance.
Tentative dates for Fall 2019 include: (75-90 minute sessions starting at 2:30 p.m.)
September: 15
September: 22
September: 29
