Math Training Study for Children with Autism (2nd-5th grade)

What's the study about?

This is a research study of brain function and development. We hope to learn more about how children’s brains develop as they learn math. Specifically, we are implementing a math training program, designed to better understand the underlying brain mechanisms of math learning among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as well as typically developing children. By investigating the brain mechanisms underlying math learning, we aim to optimizing learning in children with ASD as well as their typically developing peers. Eligible participants will be enrolled in the math training program and will also participate in MRI brain scans and neuropsychological assessments. Study participation is about 6-8 weeks.

Who can participate?

Children with high functioning Autism who are right handed, in 2nd to 4th grade, and do not have metal in their mouth or bodies.

What will participants be doing?

Eligible participants will participate in a 4 week math training program which involves once a week in person sessions and at home tablet games. Before and after the math training program will involve a brain scan and neuropsychological assessments of behavior and learning.

Participants will be compensated up to $375, will get some printed pictures of his/her brain to bring home, fun small prizes, and a t-shirt

Why is this important?

This study is interested in understanding how children’s brains develop as they learn math, and how math learning may differ among children with autism spectrum disorder.
