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.

Please feel free to share this with colleagues who might be interested.

World-renowned Pediatrician, Prof. Dr. Theodor Hellbruegge, partnered with Mario Montessori in the 1970’s to reconnect his mother’s work with the science of developmental rehabilitation to create an inclusive Montessori education.
