The Research on Autism and Development Laboratory's aim for this study is to test the efficacy of an at-home behavioral intervention on improving various components of the broad construct of attention. We are looking for children between the ages of 3 and 10 that have been diagnosed with a learning or developmental disorder who are willing to play video games at home for 12 weeks (no major medical problems including seizures).

This is an informal, 3 question survey for parents of children with developmental disabilities. It does not collect any identifying information about the respondents or their children. Thus, an IRB is not required. We would like to obtain a list of difficult daily contexts for these children to later inform a research study (which is currently under review by an IRB). The link to the online survey is below. We would greatly appreciate this being posted on your Facebook page and/or website. I am happy to provide a short message to accompany the survey link on any posts.

Participate in Research: Attention Differences in Boys with ASD and their Family Members

Boys with ASD between the ages of 8 and 16 and BOTH of their biological parents are invited to participate in a study examining attention skills and genetics.

Boys who are typically developing and their biological parents are also invited to serve as a control group.

This research taking place at the Neuroscience Center of Alliant International University under the supervision of Alan Lincoln, Ph.D., MSCP, BCBA-D and Shamayne Brown, M.A. You must be able to travel to the lab.

Study Requirements:

• Both biological parents and son must participate.
• Each parent will complete questionnaires about him or herself. This should take about 30 minutes.
• Each parent will complete a brief standard cognitive measure. This should take about 30 minutes.
• Each parent will complete a complete a customer task. This should take about 30 minutes.
• One parent will complete questionnaires about your son. This should take about 25 minutes.
• Your son will complete the brief standard cognitive measure. This should take about 30 minutes.
• Your son will complete the computer task. This should take about 30 minutes.

Upon the completion of participation in this study, your son will receive a $20.00 cash gift and each parent will each receive a $10 gift card. You may also receive, upon request, results of your performance and/or your child’s performance.

Refer another family to the study and be entered in a drawing for a $200 Visa gift card.

Our center is currently a part of a large autism research study called SPARK that includes both biological parents and child diagnosed with ASD. SPARK seeks to speed up autism research and improve our understanding of autism. This includes learning what causes autism and how best to treat it. Our goal is to build a community of 50,000 individuals with autism and their biological family members. 

Our Goal:  SPARK seeks to speed up research and improve our understanding of autism.  This includes learning what causes autism and how best to treat it. UCSD ACE and over 20 of the nation’s leading medical schools and autism research centers are part of this effort.

What We Do:  SPARK researchers study genes and information collected from thousands of people with autism and, if possible, their parents.  We hope you will join us!

How To Join

• Sign-up online at www.sparkforautism.org/ucsd.sarrc. It only takes about 20 minutes.
• Complete a few questionnaires online.
• Provide a saliva sample. We will send a small saliva collection kit to your home. When you are done, simply mail it back to us for free. 
• *If you are promoted with: “Were you referred by a university, hospital, or registry?” Please select UCSD SARRC!*
  

There is no cost to take part in SPARK. The research is sponsored by the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI). If you have any questions about the study, let me know and I would be more than happy to discuss them either by email or phone. You can respond to this email or call Hannah Kaplan directly at (858)-534-6906.

Are you a parent of an 8-12 year old child with Autism Spectrum Disorder without an intellectual disability?  Does your child report experiencing problems with flexibility, planning, and/or organization?  If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study to provide feedback on a software program for parents that provides advanced training on how to apply an evidence-based curriculum, Unstuck and On Target, at home.

If eligible and chosen to participate in the study, all participants will be asked to complete the following research activities online. These activities are expected to take approximately 2 hours and you’ll have 2 weeks to complete these activities. If participants complete the following research activities, they will receive a $75 Amazon gift code for their participation.

1. Complete a survey of demographic information
2. Access and complete tasks on the software prototype
3. Review website examples of future software development
4. Complete a product evaluation to provide feedback on the prototype and website examples.

Following the completion of the online research activities, we will ask you to participate in a brief phone call about your experiences with the prototype lasting no longer than 45 minutes.

Are you the parent of a child with a high functioning autism spectrum disorder (HF-ASD), Asperger’s syndrome, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder-NOS  who is a high school student preparing to transition to a post-secondary education setting such as a university or a community college within a few years?

Would you like to participate in the development of a computer-based program designed to help individuals with HF-ASD transition to college with improved success?

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are a high-priority clinical population with multiple service needs including access to effective mental health care given high rates of psychiatric comorbidity. Pediatric primary care is an ongoing point of health care access that is well positioned to identify mental health concerns and facilitate linkage to needed mental health services for children with ASD. This is a mixed-methods, communitypartnered study designed to understand the needs of primary care providers and caregivers of children with ASD to adapt and implement an integrated mental health care model to serve youth with ASD and mental health comorbidities. For this stage of the study, we are recruiting parents and caregivers of children with ASD to learn about their child's primary care experiences regarding mental health screening and linkage to mental health care. Participation includes a focus group and/or completion of an online survey. Compensation will be provided.

Participant Criteria: Parents and caregivers of children (up to 18 years) with autism spectrum disorder.
