A new research study being conducted at the Center for Autism Research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is using computers to investigate differences in natural speech patterns in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
While all children with ASD have difficulties with communication, the degree of language difficulties for some children is beyond what can be explained by ASD alone. Learn more about language disorders, why they are important, and how they are diagnosed and treated:
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems can help individuals who have trouble speaking to communicate with others. There are many different types of AAC systems, and a speech-language pathologist can help recommend one that is best for your child.
Register to attend this workshop geared towards parents and caregivers of toddlers and young elementary school children who have been newly diagnosed with ASD.
TheCenter for Autism Research (CAR)is a collaborative effort between The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania. CAR's primary mission is to understand the causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and develop effective treatments through research with infants through adults. Families who participate receive comprehensive assessment reports and are paid for their time and some travel expenses. CAR is also committed to serving the needs of families living with ASD through education and guidance. The newCAR Autism Roadmap seeks to help families answer questions about life with autism, whether they are new to the diagnosis or have lived with it for years, as well as connect them with resources in their communities via theCAR Resource Directory.
