Autism Research Study
Researchers at the Infant Development Center at Bradley Hospital
are investigating how children with autism and other developmental
disabilities react to social events. The study will measure the
child's heart rate while they engage in social events and interact
with staff members at the center. Our center is affiliated with
Brown University.
What is involved?
During the study, researchers will monitor the heart rate of children
and videotape the children as they participate in a series of activities.
The children will be monitored as they interact with our staff and
as they socially play with toys.
Who can participate?
We are enrolling children between the ages of 3 and 6 who have
either:
- a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (for example, autism
or pervasive development disorder, not otherwise specified)
or
- cognitive and language delays with no diagnosis of an autism
spectrum disorder.
