Current Projects
SUPPORTING LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
Sibwatch
Sibwatch is a study looking to optimize intervention for toddler siblings of autistic children who have an increased likelihood for autism or language delays. We work with families to implement play-based strategies throughout their everyday routines to support social communication.
SUPPORTING LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
BLOOM
The Boosting Language Opportunities for Optimal Mothering (BLOOM): Parenting Strategies in Bipolar Disorder project monitors the development young children born to mothers with bipolar disorder. This study offers intervention opportunities that support children’s social communication and language development.
ADAPTING PARENT MEDIATED INTERVENTIONS
Adapting PMIs
This study wants to learn more about how both autistic and non-autistic parents experience parent-mediated interventions (PMIs), which are programs where parents are coached to support their child’s development. We’re interested in whether these programs could be adjusted to better fit different parents’ needs.
SUPPORTING COMMUNICATION AND BEHAVIOR
SMART
The Sequencing Methods for Autism: A Randomized Trial (SMART) project examines how caregivers can learn social communication strategies, behavior regulation strategies or both sets of strategies to support autistic toddlers’ communication and behavior.
