Current Studies

Word Learning in Kids

Who:

Children on the autism spectrum (e.g., ASD, PDD-NOS, Asperger's)

  • Between 4- and 10-years-old and who can speak in simple sentences

What:

We are interested in learning how children learn new words and how reviewing information vs. quizzing information affects learning.

How does it work?

  • This study involves six sessions (range 2-7 sessions).
  • The sessions typically take 1 hour.
  • Parents/guardians will also be asked to complete forms about the child.

Where?

  • Our LSU lab, or your child's school, therapy center, or home

Families will receive:

  • Compensation at a $20 an hour rate and information about their child's language abilities.
