$60 for 3-Hour Research Study: Autistic Teenagers 12-17 Years Old
Reply to: job-169900989@<hidden>
About the Study:
This study aims to understand how your child pays attention to human and non-human sounds by recording brain activity from an EEG test. The EEG test involves placing electrodes with a gel onto your child’s scalp, which is a proven safe method that has been used in infant studies. There are no physical risks from undergoing an EEG test. However, slight skin irritation may occur from the electrode gel only in children with extremely sensitive skin. In the future, this study may be important in understanding how your child can discriminate different types of sounds in their environment.
What the Study Involves:
The 1st part of the study involves a psychological evaluation from a clinical psychologist, which will last no more than 1 hour. The 2nd part of the study involves undergoing the EEG test, which will take no more than 2 hours. The entire study will take place at the Brain Institute of Miami Children’s Hospital.
Eligible Participants:
We are looking for female or male teenagers between the ages of 12-17 years old who are diagnosed with mid- to high-functioning autism or Asperger’s Syndrome. Your child must be verbal, able to follow simple directions, and able to sit quietly and still for about 2 hours. Your child’s main spoken language must be English.
Interested in having your child participate in this study?
