UW PATHWAYS Study

January 1, 2018 By UW READi Lab

The READi Lab is partnering with health care, early intervention, and early learning programs in King County to reduce health care disparities in early ASD identification and treatment. This project involves: (1) conducting focus groups with community providers and families to understand barriers to communicating about ASD concerns, and (2) offering materials and training to community providers with the goals of increasing ASD screening and reducing the age at which children receive ASD specialized intervention.

Parent-Mediated Intervention Study (ImPACT): NO LONGER ENROLLING NEW FAMILIES

December 14, 2017 By Diane

This project is evaluating a parent-implemented intervention designed to improve children’s social and communication skills. Our study will examine the effectiveness of ImPACT (Improving Parents as Communicative Teachers) for infants at familial risk for ASD. Participating families will be randomly assigned to either the Treatment group or an Assess-and-Monitor group.

The Screen-Refer-Treat Model for Increasing Access to ASD Community Services: NO LONGER ENROLLING NEW FAMILIES

October 14, 2017 By Diane

This project is implementing and evaluating an innovative healthcare service delivery model designed to promote earlier access to specialized intervention for toddlers with ASD. The Screen-Refer-Treat (SRT) model provides a coordinated and cost-effective approach to early identification and intervention by involving both Medical and Early Intervention (EI) providers, and represents a practical and sustainable strategy for bridging the gap between ASD concerns and ASD intervention. We are recruiting participants from four communities across Washington State: Skagit, Lewis, Yakima, and Spokane counties.

Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Study: NO LONGER ENROLLING NEW FAMILIES

September 14, 2017 By UW READi Lab

The ECHO Study is a large, nationwide project examining the effect of environmental risk factors on child health outcomes. We are participating in the “ASD-Enriched Risk Cohort” component, which is studying the shed baby teeth (i.e., teeth that have fallen out) from children who have older siblings with ASD. The purpose of the study is to explore how genetic factors interact with pre- and post-natal environmental chemical exposures to impact ASD risk.
