UCR Social Cognitive Developmental Neuroscience Lab

The UCR SCDN lab wants to hear from families of autistic** children! What do you wish researchers would prioritize? How can we help you and your family? What barriers have you experienced when trying to access care/services?

We are having a zoom event on 6/25/23 at 2pm PST and would love for you to join us!

Please DM for a link, as we want to avoid spam/offensive content.

**we have moved towards using identity first language (autistic) after hearing from autistic adolescents and adults that it is preferable to person first language (child with autism).

If you have a child with or without autism between the ages of 8-15 years old, we have an exciting study for them! They will participate by playing some brain games, from the comfort of their own home. Families will receive a $25 Amazon gift card for their participation.
