Language Acquisition in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Stephanie Afflitto, in the Lab for Developmental Studies at Harvard University under Professor Jesse Snedeker is researching language acquisition in autism spectrum disorders. We are currently seeking participants who are between age 5 and 10 years, on the autism spectrum and have average to above average language skills.

Children will be asked to come in to the lab or be visited at home for approximately 2 hours. We play a variety of word games and computer games using exciting eye tracking technology! Please help us learn more about how children with autism learn language!

Neurotypical children ages 5-10 are also welcome!
