My dissertation, entitled “Caregiver-Assisted Social Skills Intervention for Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Examining Caregiver-Child Relationships and Family,” examines the impact of a group-based social skills intervention (The PEERS® for Preschoolers program) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder on the caregiver-child relationship and the family. To recruit the target number of participants, I have established a research and intervention initiative in Atlanta, was there running groups and working at a speciality center (The Georgia Autism Center) last semester, and returned to Blacksburg this semester to continue running social skills groups here. Though I was in Atlanta all of last semester, I had to travel back to Atlanta to complete follow up assessments in February 2019 and am specifically seeking funding for that unexpected visit. Here are my expenses: Hotel: 192; Flight: 400; Rental car: 148 = $740
