Dr. Tyler is going to interview two separate groups of participants:

  • Group A: Siblings and parents currently on the waiting list for an initial clinical assessment.
  • Group B: Siblings and parents whose child has already completed their clinical assessment and received a formal diagnosis.

Dr. Tyler carries out semi-structured interviews with the families. She plans to use both open questions and closed questions in her interview schedule.
