Sensory Over-Responsiveness Across the Spectrum (Age 7-15 years)

Eligibility

  • Your child is between the ages of 7 to 15 years old.
  • Your child has a diagnosis on the autism spectrum.

Purpose

  • We are studying responses to sensory stimuli, such as touch, sound, and sight, in children with autism to investigate the causes of sensory over-responsivity.
  • We hope that study results will contribute to developing better treatments for sensory over-responsivity in children with autism.

Involvement

  • Children will complete some sensory games while we measure their behavior and body responses (e.g. heart beats).
  • Some children may also be eligible to participate in a brain scan.
  • Parents and children are also asked to complete some questionnaires.

Benefits

  • Up to $100
  • A picture of your child's brain
  • A report on your child's sensory responsiveness
