Montessori Autism Research Study
I’m conducting a research study exploring how Montessori schools support students with autism—and how these supports may differ internationally.
If you're a Montessori teacher, administrator or work in another capacity in a Montessori school, I’d be grateful if you could complete a short, anonymous survey (~15 minutes).
Your insights could help inform inclusive practices and support future Montessori teacher training.
