Brain Correlates of Repetitive Speech in Autism
Study Focus: The purpose of Project ECHO is to better understand how the brains of young children with and without autism work when they speak. More specifically, we are interested in looking at repetitive speech, also called ‘echolalia,’ in children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Recruiting: Project ECHO is currently recruiting children ages 2 years 6 months to 6 years 11 months with or without Autism Spectrum Disorder.
