Research Study on Language and Brain Imaging

//Research Study on Language and Brain Imaging

Research Study on Language and Brain Imaging

The Waisman Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is recruiting boys with fragile X syndrome and autism spectrum disorder for a study on language and communication skills and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The purpose of this research is to better understand how children with fragile X and children with ASD use language. All of the testing is done at the Waisman Center, and can be scheduled at your convenience.

Eligibility. Males between 9 and 18 years of age and speaking in at least 2-3 word phrases.

Study activities include completing standardized tests, a conversation language sample, as well as an autism diagnostic evaluation. Parents will complete an interview about their son’s behaviors and communication abilities. Participants will also undergo an MRI scan and we will ask parents to help make your son comfortable in the MRI scanner during the scan.

Families will receive $150 for their participation and all travel costs (flights, mileage, and hotel) to the Waisman Center are covered.

Study: Family Relationships and Parenting of Children with FXS

The UC Davis MIND Institute is currently recruiting study research participants. The study’s goal is to better understand the ways in which characteristics of mothers and fathers and relationships within the family influence the language learning environment of young boys with Fragile X syndrome.

Survey: Needs and Experiences of Families with Young Children with Fragile X

This survey will help support families in the Early Check study in NC whose newborns have been diagnosed with Fragile X and inform the design of an early intervention program for these babies.

Early Development of Young Children with Fragile X in North Carolina

RTI Int’l and UNC at Chapel Hill are conducting a research study to learn more about early development of young children with Fragile X in North Carolina, and the experiences of their parents when obtaining the diagnosis and early intervention services.

Metformin in Individuals with Fragile X Syndrome

We have preliminary evidence that metformin, a common type 2 diabetes medication, is beneficial for language, cognition, and behavior in both children and adults with Fragile X Syndrome.

Describing Anxiety for People with Fragile X Syndrome

A survey to measure levels of behavior. When someone with FXS is experiencing anxiety, describe what you see and hear, and how the experience impacts your/their quality of life.

Visual Perception Study

Our research is looking at how you see and remember the visual world, and how attention changes what we see. We hope our findings will provide a better understanding of the differences in vision and attention occurring in autism.
