Investigating patterns to accelerate solutions.
At the Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Laboratory at Northwestern University, we research language and other abilities associated with autism, fragile X, and related conditions. We also investigate their associated genetic, environmental, and neural features.
Our specific study objectives include:
- understanding different developmental strengths and challenges in language and other abilities associated with autism, fragile X, and related conditions;
- defining subtle language and neuropsychological profiles among unaffected family members that may still be linked to the genes involved in autism and fragile X; and
- documenting the connections between genes and environment in neurodevelopmental disabilities like autism/fragile X.
