Improving Developmental Experiences for Autism and developmental disabilities (IDEA) Research Lab
What does the IDEA Research Lab do?
The IDEA Research Lab is led by Dr. Sandra Vanegas. Her research focuses on racial/ethnic minority children and youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The central aim of her research is to develop culturally informed educational and clinical practices that will ameliorate disparities affecting children and families from underserved communities. Her research is focused on three main areas: 1) Screening and diagnosis, 2) Interventions and supports, and 3) Developmental trajectories.
