Volunteer
The SEBASTIEN project represents an excellent opportunity for undergraduate student members, among others, who wish to gain a multidimensional, multifaceted research experience. As a member of the SEBASTIEN project team, you will have an opportunity to participate at various levels in the implementation of a psychological and educational research project. The level and extent of your participation will be determined by your previous research experience, your hard work and dedication to the project, your own interests, and most importantly your skills and abilities.
As a member of the SEBASTIEN team, you will engage in discussion of pertinent articles, which provide you with background knowledge of autism and CBT. Participation in research meetings will give you the chance to discuss research issues and results with the research coordinator, as well as with a number of post-doctoral, graduate, and undergraduate students with interests similar to yours.
