Study Center
Seeks Children with Autism and Their Siblings
For a Study of Children's Responses to Faces & Animals
The University of Virginia Child
Study Center is seeking participants for brief studies exploring
the nature of children's interests in and responses to different
kinds of living things, including people and animals. We are seeking
children with autism spectrum diagnoses (ASDs) and their infant and
toddler siblings (sibs need not have ASDs). Children will
participate in simple studies where they watch animals and human
faces on a screen or interact directly with toy animals and/or
people to help us better understand the development of social
behavior.
