CASCADE Survey
The University of Texas at Austin's Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) Program is conducting a study to better understand autism screening, diagnosis, and referral practices in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Your responses to the following questions will help identify current practices, barriers, and training needs.
The IDEAL Study
The current project will identify and measure the early developmental trajectories of language and communication skills of Latino children and assess and characterize the emergence of autism symptoms among Latino children with a high and low likelihood of autism.
The MILES Study
The MILES Study will follow babies with and without Down Syndrome for a whole year. We will measure their language, communication, motor skills, and physical activity to learn how these abilities grow and work together over time. This research will give important information about the early development of babies with and without Down syndrome to help create better intervention strategies and support.
