Cardiff Metropolitan University (previously UWIC) are researching the challenges which face parents of children with neurological conditions when participating in holidays. We would very much appreciate your involvement in this research and would therefore like to invite you to take part in one of the following discussion groups to find out about your families experiences of holiday taking. We are looking for parents with children who have any type of Autism Spectrum disorder.

Groups will be held in Cardiff and Carmarthen on the following dates:

Cardiff

Wednesday 22nd February at 6-8pm in the Cardiff School of Management building at Cardiff Metropolitan University, Western Avenue, CF52YB

Friday 24th February 11.00am- 1.00pm in the Cardiff School of Management building at Cardiff Metropolitan University , Western Avenue, CF52YB

Carmarthen

Thursday 1st March 11am-1pm Cerebra, Second Floor Offices, Lyric Building, King Street Carmarthen, SA31 1BD

Thursday 1st March 6-8pm Cerebra, Second Floor Offices, Lyric Building, King Street Carmarthen, SA31 1BD

As a token of appreciation, a £10 book token will be offered to those parents who agree to take part in the research.

It is hoped that the findings, which will be anonymised, will help Cerebra and the tourism industry improve the holiday provision of families with children with a neurological condition.

Please let us know whether you would like to take part by emailing the date of the focus group you would like to attend, your name, address and telephone number to rachels@cerebra.org.uk.
