This program aims to improve the lives of children, teens and adults with attention, impulsivity, or cognitive and emotional regulation challenges. Research includes brain development in ADHD, virtual reality treatments for attention, and the link between fidgeting and focus.

The Autism Phenome Project, launched in 2006, is the largest and most comprehensive long-term study of children with autism. Children were enrolled at ages 2-3, and we have followed them through middle childhood and into adolescence to better understand how brain development differs over time.

The Collaborative START lab is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for autistic individuals and their families. Our goal is to bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that cutting-edge interventions benefit all members of the autistic community. 

We study how to identify autism early in childhood to ensure children get helpful services. Our research uses at-home methods like online forms and video visits to see if telehealth can effectively detect autism.

Our research lab is trying to understand how language develops in children who have certain developmental disabilities like fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, and autism. 

Our program focuses on understanding and treating depression, mood spectrum disorders, and related conditions in youth, young adults and adults. 

The goal of our work is to uncover early signs of autism and ADHD in infants and toddlers, and to better understand the links between these two conditions. 

We are a lab focused on preclinical research in multiple species to study and treat rare neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including intellectual disability (ID), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and pediatric epilepsy. Our goal is to use insights from rodent models to develop effective treatments for these conditions.

The Solomon Lab uses cognitive neuroscience methods to advance the study of higher cognition in autism. 

Our lab focuses on understanding how genes, the brain, and behavior are connected in neurodevelopmental disabilities, particularly in conditions related to fragile X syndrome.
