Are you a Pediatrician and Would Like to Participate in our Research?

The usual first step to being an ACE pediatrician is to participate in an informational luncheon. In brief, Dr. Karen Pierce and her assistant will come to your office during your lunch hour and talk with everyone about what we are doing. We hand out informational packets, information, and answer questions.
We will also bring lunch from Piatti's in La Jolla for your office, including sandwiches, chips, dessert, and drinks.

Benefits for your office include: $1,000 per year for your general office
fund, a new clinical tool for your 1-year check up, possible involvement in publications and research, our gratitude, and an opportunity to help San Diego pioneer a Model of Early Identification of Autism.

Every child considered at risk and referred by your office will receive free developmental evaluations, free blood screen for Fragile X, free follow-up evaluations, free written reports, free MRI Scan, money for gas, prizes for the child, access to knowledgeable staff, and free treatment (if eligible).

It's a wonderful resource for families and all of the pediatricians that have participated so far feel that it adds a positive dimension to their practice.
Best of all it will really help us to figure out a bio-behavioral signature of autism at 12 months.

We are very committed to this research and very grateful to pediatricians
for working with us. If it weren't for people like you, this research would
not be possible.

The luncheon is for informational purposes. You can choose to proceed (or
not) at that time.
