Help us learn more about autism spectrum disorders by participating in a research study at CARD:
Autism Sibling Study
Study Name: Do you have a child 18 to 36 months old with autism spectrum disorder?
Description: Our AMSA (automated movement-based screener for autism spectrum disorder) study is currently enrolling toddlers with an older autistic sibling. Through this study we hope to improve ways to identify children who may benefit most from early intervention. Toddlers under 16 months with an older sibling may be eligible to participate in virtual developmental assessments. Study is 100% virtual and requires no in-person visits.
IRB# 00316818
Principal Investigator: Dr. Rachel Reetzke
Gender: All
Age: 12-16 months old
Diagnosis: Younger sibling of a child with autism
