looking for children (ages 3 to 21) to participate in a research project, looking at ways to improve language skills for children with autism spectrum disorder. We are looking for children to participate who have some language skills but do not consistently use language to request desired items. If you would at all be interested in learning more about the project or have any questions, feel free to contact me at (443) 923-2936 or tomlian@kennedykrieger.org.
