Autistic Adults: Share How You Express Yourself!

We seek to understand how autistic adults communicate in daily life, including strategies that help, challenges faced, and how things may change across settings and relationships.
We are looking to interview autistic adults about their communication experiences. Interviews will last approximately 90 minutes over Zoom, and participants will be compensated with a $50 Amazon gift card.
​
Participants must (a) be at least 18 years old, (b) identify as autistic, (c) be employed at least part-time, and (d) attend school at least part-time.

Teaching Ecologically Valid Empathy Skills

Do you want your child to learn or improve their empathy skills?
We are inviting children who are 4- to 5-years-old, have no known neurodevelopmental or learning disability, and understand English to participate in a study that aims to teach children how to empathetically respond to individuals in distress.

Understanding Children's Preferences

We seek to understand the best ways to determine children's preferences (i.e., what they like). Participation is approximately 1 hour long and will help us understand if indicators of preference change as children develop.
​
Children 6 months to 10 years old are eligible to participate.
Early Communication & Other Life Skills

Do you want to improve your child's communication?
​
Promoting early social communication skills, even for children as young as two-month-old, can improve child development (e.g., meeting CDC milestones) and reduce undesirable behaviors, like crying. Not only can promoting communication (babbling, infant sign language) improve other pivotal skills (like eye contact, social skills), but it also provide families with the tools they need to reduce how often their child cries to communicate.
