Brain Correlates of Repetitive Speech in Autism<\/h4>\n

Study Focus: <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

Recruiting: <\/strong>Project ECHO is currently recruiting children ages 2 years 6 months to 6 years 11 months with or without Autism Spectrum Disorder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gathering Evidence to Optimize Decisions (GEODE)<\/h4>\n

Study Focus: <\/strong>GEODE focuses on learning about how visual stimuli and sensory perception impact decision making in adolescents (11-21 year olds) with Autism Spectrum Disorder, specifically individuals who are minimally verbal to non-verbal. GEODE will be conducted remotely via ZOOM, with potential for in-person participation.<\/p>\n

Recruitment:<\/strong> GEODE is recruiting adolescents ages 11-21 years old with or without ASD.<\/p>\n
