Trial Information
Summary: Participant Database for Persons Interested in Research Studies of Developmental
Disorders
To create a registry of eligible subjects for our studies, we are currently seeking
• Children without any Developmental Disorders
• Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their Siblings
• Children with Language Disorders or Delay
How do children with autism process information differently from children without autism? Are there biological markers that may make it possible to diagnose autism at younger ages? How about language disorders? Why do those happen? Our research team is working on several exciting research projects to address these questions. The studies focus on brain development and information processing using some of the latest advances in noninvasive brain imaging techniques. We hope that in the future, our research will not only advance our understanding of the field, but also contribute to the development of new treatments.
Therefore, we are creating a registry for children/teenagers ages 3-12 interested in participating in our research studies, including children/teenagers without any developmental disorders, children/teenagers with autism spectrum disorders, their younger siblings, and children/teenagers with language disorders or delay. Participation in the registry would require 1-2 visits for 2-3 hours each, to complete questionnaires common to all of our studies. After you complete the questionnaires, we will contact you about studies for which you are eligible.
Compensation for your time and travel expenses will be provided. If you and your child are interested in participating in the studies, please call our Research Coordinator, at (617) 966-9766, or contact us by email at TRANSCEND@partners.org
We look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you might have about the studies!
