Get Involved!
The success of our research depends upon the participation of families like yours.
Your child may be eligible to participate in one of our research projects. Your family's involvement will help in the effort to understand, diagnose, and treat autism. Additionally, participating families will gain valuable insight into their child’s cognitive, verbal, and social development. All families are provided with financial compensation for their participation and participating children receive a toy at each visit and a customized “baby book”.
