The goal of the Brain Development in Infants with Angelman Syndrome study is to learn more about the early brain and behavioral development of infants with Angelman syndrome (AS) to aid in the future development of supports and treatments. For more information, visit our Brain Development in Infants with Angelman Syndrome study page.
The goal of the Brain Development in Infants with Fragile X Syndrome study is to learn more about the early brain and behavioral development of infants with fragile X syndrome (FXS) to aid in the future development of supports and treatments. For more information, visit our Brain Development in Infants with Fragile X Syndrome study page.
Researchers are studying the development of social behaviors, what attracts the attention of girls and boys, and the development of gender identity. For more information, visit our Longitudinal Study of Sex and Gender Differences in Autism study page.
The Connections Plus Study is a virtual research study looking at how social and community connections relate to mental health in autistic adults ages 55 and older. For more information, visit our Connections Plus Study page.
This research study is focused on understanding the experiences of Black parents and caregivers. Your involvement will contribute to valuable insights that will help support the community. For more information, visit our Racism and Resilience among Black Autistic Children and Caregivers study page.
The researchers of this project are focused on building supportive communities. They have developed and studied a novel exercise program, publishing data on its positive impact on increasing step counts and supporting weight loss for a group of 40 individuals. In addition, their team and collaborators have organized an inclusive group fitness class based on the program. They are ready to expand these programs to meet the needs of more people through their clinical trial. For more information, visit our PACE study page.
This study aims to learn more about treatments that facilitate a successful transition from high school to adulthood for autistic teens. Teens and their caregiver will be randomized to participate in either a weekly social skills intervention or a daily living skills intervention. For more information, visit our study page.
The purpose of this study is to compare two mental health therapies among autistic adults. For more information, visit our Comparing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy vs Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Autistic Adults study page.
The FITBI Project is a partnership between the University of Kansas and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. The FITBI Project is a research study delivered via telehealth that provides caregiver coaching for inflexible or repetitive behaviors in autistic children between the ages of 3 and 9 years. For more information, visit our FITBI Project study page.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the relationship between neural response to rewards, inflammation, autistic traits, and quality of life in adults, ages 18-40. For more information, visit our ARISE study page.
The HBCD Study is the largest long-term study of early brain and child development in the United States. The study will enroll a large number of families from across the US and follow them and their children through early childhood. The researchers want to better understand how the brain develops and is changed by exposure to substances and other environmental conditions. For more information, visit our HBCD study page.
Infants make many sounds before they say their first words. Vocal development refers to the process of forming speech sounds and words. These are important vocal milestones during the first years of life. It can be challenging to assess these skills. That is why the Boys Town National Research Hospital and ºÚÁÏÍø are working together to create a tool called the Vocal Development Landmark Assessment (VDLA) to assess infant vocal development. For more information, visit our Vocal Development Landmarks Assessment study page.
