Research Studies

Language Acquisition and Processing

At the Lab for Developmental Studies at Harvard University, we are currently seeking participants for a variety of language tasks administered in our lab, in schools and in other community settings. Our studies are designed as short games that we play with the children while their interaction with the experimenter is videotaped. These videotapes are later analyzed by researchers and are only viewed by the Lab for Developmental Studies. All personal information we receive from families is kept confidential. We are looking for children ages 5-10 (though later research may include younger children) who have been diagnosed with high-functioning autism or Asperger Syndrome. For more information or to participate please call our lab at 617-384-8357 or e-mail Amanda at aworek@wjh.harvard.edu.
