This study will ultimately help physicians make earlier referrals for assessment, and to help educators prepare appropriate assessment and programming for siblings who experience developmental or academic challenges so that they may experience greater academic and social success. It will also lead to a better understanding of the brain mechanisms involved in autism, possibly resulting in a better understanding of the causes of autism. Assessments are completed by a special educator or a certified speech-language pathologist who is able to make appropriate recommendations and referrals if a communication delay is detected. In addition to regular working hours, we are flexible so that we can work around your schedule.
