My name is Emily Chen, and I am a Master’s student in Communication Sciences and Disorders at Emerson College, studying to be a speech therapist. I am seeking participants for my Master’s thesis, which is a qualitative study that will use photography and group discussions to explore the lived experiences of neurodivergent Asian American young adults. Below is information about my study. I have also attached PDF and JPG fliers for email, social media, and in-person distribution. Please consider sharing these materials with your networks and with anyone who might be interested in this study. Thank you so much for assisting me in recruiting participants for my Master’s thesis! Your support means a lot to me. Sincerely, Emily Chen *** *Title of Study*: Lived Experiences of Neurodivergent Asian American Young Adults: A Photovoice Exploration *Purpose of Study*: The purpose of this study is to describe the lived experiences of neurodivergent Asian American young adults through Photovoice and interpretive phenomenological analysis, through a DisCrit theoretical framework. - Photovoice is a method to share the perspectives and experiences of marginalized groups through taking photos, talking about them, and showing them to the community. - Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) means that I will analyze the photos and what is said in group meetings to find similarities and differences among participant experiences. - DisCrit is a way of examining the intersection of race and disability. *What will study participants do, and how much time will this study take?* This study includes: - 1 initial group meeting (1 hour; not recorded) - 3 group meetings (2 hours maximum, including breaks; recorded). These group meetings will take place 3 weeks apart from each other. - Final Exhibit: in-person at Emerson College’s Robbins Center & online (platform and format TBD) - Final group debrief meeting (1 hour; recorded) *Who can participate in the study?* You are eligible to participate in this study if you are: - Asian American - Age 18-29 - Completed grades 1-12 in the US - Self-identifies as neurodivergent - Has a neurodevelopmental condition (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc.) - Able to actively participate in group discussions on Zoom (each meeting will be approximately 90 minutes) with accommodations - Willing to learn basic photography skills (using a smartphone camera is perfectly fine!) I will be recruiting participants until October 1st, 2023.
