Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Restricted and Repetitive Behavior in ASD
Investigating the efficacy of a form of TMS called theta-burst stimulation for restricted and repetitive behavior in ASD.
Suramin for the Treatment of Autism Trial: KZ101 in a Male Pediatric Population With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Suramin has been found to correct the symptoms, metabolism, and brain synaptic abnormalities in two classical genetic and environmental mouse models of autism. A preliminary clinical trial (SAT-1) examined the safety and activity of a single low-dose of suramin in children with ASD and concluded suramin showed promise as a …
Smith Magenis Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a neurodevelopmental disorder. Their prevalence is estimated at around 0.4% of the general population worldwide. Their early onset and chronic nature make them a disabling disorder, all the more so as there is a high prevalence of sleep disorders in these populations, estimated at between …
Intestinal Dysbiosis and BBB Integrity in Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterised by an impairment of social interactions and communication, associated with repetitive behaviour and restrictive interests. Clinical phenotypes of this neurodevelopmental disorder are heterogeneous and surprisingly up to 70% of ASD patients have gastro-intestinal (GI) disorders, associated with ASD severity and influence by feeding disorders. …
ICBT for OCD in Children With Autism
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, the cost-effectiveness and the effect durability of a therapist-guided, internet-delivered cognitive-behavior therapy intervention for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents with autism. A process evaluation of the treatment will also be conducted.
rTMS to Improve Motor Function in Autism
In the current project, investigators have two main goals: i) Testing whether an excessive plasticity, i.e. hyperplasticity in the motor cortex underlies motor function difficulties in autistic adults, and ii) Using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) with autistic adults to examine whether resulting reduced hyperplasticity in the motor cortex will …
Coaching and Leadership in Autism Support Settings
Schools serve a large number of autistic children, yet face two critical gaps that stifle the delivery of evidence-based practices: 1) an intervention gap characterized by limited availability of evidence-based practices educators can use to address externalizing behaviors when they occur in the classroom; and 2) an implementation gap consisting …
PRT for Adolescents With High Functioning Autism
The purpose of this study is to identify improvement in behavioral and social function and changes in the brain following Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) for Adolescents in highly verbal adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Handwritten Text Production in Adults With Autism
The main objective is to assess the psycholinguistic and graphomotor characteristics of written production in patients with ASD. The secondary objectives are: Identifying links between specific deficits of ASD and difficulties in written production. Identifying links between the severity of ASD and difficulties in written production. The primary evaluation criterion …
Dual Executive Function Training Package
Executive function (EF) refers to the cognitive processes that enable goal-directed regulation of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Two interrelated domains are commonly distinguished: "cool" EF, which involves abstract cognitive processes, and "hot" EF, which involves regulation in emotionally or motivationally charged contexts. Children with special educational needs (SENs) frequently show …
