Earlier this month, 5 members of the READi Lab team traveled to Montreal, Canada to present posters and talks at the annual meeting of the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR). Our presentations described our research activities and findings on a range of topics, including:
- Perspectives from EI providers about discussing ASD concerns with families
- Use of the online M-CHAT-R/F screening tool by primary care providers across WA State
- Perceptions of family-centered care among parents who have concerns about ASD for their toddler
- Use of Reciprocal Imitation Training by Part C Early Intervention providers across the state
- Improving parent-provider communication and shared decision-making for the early detection of ASD
- A new tool for measuring DSM-5 symptom expression in toddlers (collaboration with U Conn)
- The effect of ImPACT intervention on expressive communication in infant siblings of children with ASD (collaboration with Vanderbilt)
Despite being busy, our lab members still found time to enjoy the local food (like poutine and bagels!) and to view some of the sights in this beautiful city!
