Early Connections, Early Detection and Intervention in Infants at Risk for Autism

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder

In brief

Early connections has two broad goals: * to identify risk indices for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 6 to 24 month old infants who have an older sibling with ASD or infants who have an older neurotypical sibling. * to assess whether it is possible to alter risk processes through early intervention with high-risk infants, thereby reducing social-communication delays or the severity of autism symptoms.
