Mahalo nui Emergent Learning Hawai’i for the love ❤️

As the devastation in Maui continues, the outpouring of aloha and care is a testament to the strength of our community. At Emergent Learning Center Hawaii, we are astounded by the selfless acts of the Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) of : Gina, Melody, Khara, Dani, Serina, Vika, and Brooksie. In a time of need, they sacrificed their center space to provide shelter for families in desperate need of comfort and safety.

Their actions go beyond mere duty; they are a shining example of empathy, compassion, and humanity. To the RBTs of Maui Learning Academy, we at Emergent Learning Center Hawaii extend our heartfelt appreciation. You are lights in the dark, rays of hope, and pure aloha. 🌺

What an amazing opportunity for our families to speak up about their experiences in Hawai’i!

Researchers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa are conducting a study about how feeling stigmatized by others affects the quality of life of parents raising children diagnosed with autism in Hawaii.

We are looking for parents of children diagnosed with autism to participate in a brief online research survey. The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. No personally identifying information is being collected. We will only use group data in this research so your individual answer will not be identified.

This is an important study because, to date, there is no data of this kind from Hawaii. Our hope is that the results from this study may substantially influence faculty instruction, practitioner training, and help the medical community in raising awareness that support for parents raising children with autism is lacking and needs to be addressed early.

Here is the link to the online survey: http://hawaii.surveyshare.com/s/AYASM6A
