The center also trains researchers and clinicians in the scientific study, diagnosis, and treatment of autism. Services include comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, intervention, consultation to schools, therapists, and other professionals, social skills groups for children and adults, as well as training and resources for families. Several research projects are actively recruiting participants: The Toddler Project (seeking to understand the nature of language and cognitive development in infants < 15months old who are at risk for autism because they have a sibling diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or for other reasons, such as infantile seizures), Molecular Genetics of Autism (aimed at exploring potential genetic factors associated with autism by recruiting families with 2 or more members with an autism spectrum disorder - may include siblings or cousins), and Let’s Face It (a computer intervention designed to improve face processing and recognition in children, age 5 and up, and adults with high functioning autism and Asperger’s).
