SWOC Activities on Balance, Gait and Endurance in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by challenges in social communication, social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and restrictive interests. Affecting 0.2-2% of children, ASD often includes motor growth retardation, which worsens over time. The disorder is more commonly diagnosed in boys, and its cause is believed to be …
Resources for Optimizing Outcomes in Toddlers on the Spectrum
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether telehealth-based Family Navigation (FN) expedites enrollment (e.g., reduces time in days) in community-based autism intervention for toddlers under the age of 4 living in Rural NC after their initial diagnosis of autism. The main questions it aims to answer are: …
Effects of Multiple-Session Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Behavioral, Physiological, and Electrophysiological Measures With Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of multiple sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) delivered while participants complete tasks that target social learning with high functioning adults with ASD and/or high traits of ASD. The main question it aims to answer is: What are …
Abnormal Connectivity Involving the Social Reciprocity Network in Autism and the Impact of Neurostimulation in Mitigating the Abnormalities
There is no consensus regarding the neurological substrate underpinning ASD. The investigators describe the novel concept of "social reciprocity network" and hypothesize that aberrant connectivity/oscillatory patterns affecting this network contribute to the core deficits in ASD. The overarching goal of this trial is to explore abnormalities involving the neuronal connectivity …
Targeting Repetitive Behaviors in Autism Spectrum Disorder Via Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Repetitive behaviors (RBs) are a prevalent feature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). There are two groups of RBs: lower-order (e.g. motor stereotypies) and higher-order RBs (e.g. restricted interests), linked to sensory-motor and the associative loops, respectively. To date, treatment options for RBs are very limited. High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation …
A Trial of the Launching! to Adulthood Program
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Launching intervention (Pagan et al., 2024) in improving adaptive functioning, transition readiness, and social cognition in young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), compared to a delayed treatment control group, to examine whether the Launching intervention leads to …
Interactive Mirroring Games wIth sOcial Robot (IOGIOCO) and Robotic System Adapted Into a Clinical Scale (RISCALE)
Background: The importance of early intervention in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has been widely demonstrated, and developmental trajectories in ASD highlight the importance of nonverbal communication, such as intransitive gesture production, as a possible positive prognostic factor for language development. The use of technological tools in the therapy of individuals …
Effect of a Casein and Gluten Free Diet in Mexican Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Assess the effect of a casein-free and gluten-free diet on gastrointestinal symptoms, clinical variables, and the composition of the intestinal microbiota in Mexican children with autism spectrum disorder.
Iterative Redesign of a Multifaceted Implementation Strategy for a School-based Behavioral Skills Intervention (RUBI)
The increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (1 in 36 youth) in the United States along with the exorbitant cost of care of supporting one autistic individual with and without intellectual disability across their lifespan ($2.4 and $1.4 million, respectively) creates a sense of urgency to improve outcomes for autistic …
Retrieval-Based Word Learning in Autistic Children
Children on the autism spectrum sometimes have difficulty learning new words and using the newly taught information in different situations. In this study, the investigators are testing whether strategies that have been found to improve word learning in non-autistic children will also help autistic children. Specifically, the investigators aim to …
