Eastern Illinois University will be conducting a research project involving language patterns in children with high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome.

 

To participate in the study, each child must be between the ages of 6-12, have a diagnosis of high-functioning autism or Asperger's Syndrome, and be able to come to the EIU clinic for 1-2 sessions of testing this summer. With each evaluation, we will generate a summary report of the child's performance and provide copies for the parents to relay to their respective speech-langauge pathologists. In essence, each participant will undergo a mini language diagnostic.

 

Interested families can email or call Hannah Petitt at hrpetitt@eiu.edu or (847) 322-1524.
