- STUDY - Is your child 7-14 years old with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?
Participation involves four sessions, each lasting up to 2 hours: two at our lab at the University of Maryland and two at the Maryland Neuroimaging Center. During your visit to our lab, your child will play games and watch some videos. Games involve things like hearing stories about characters and determining what they would or should do next. During your visit to the Maryland Neuroimaging Center, your child will play games while lying inside an MRI scanner. You will be compensated monetarily for your time. After the MRI session, your child will also get a picture of his or her brain!
See what it's like to participate in an MRI studies by viewing this video from the Developmental Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab!

Other Research Projects
Dr. Ratner’s lab is currently collaborating with Richard Solomon M.D. to examine language outcomes of the PLAY Project autism intervention (based on Greenspan and Weider's DIR/Floortime framework) to extend the results of the major study he and colleagues published in 2014 (Solomon R, Van Egeren L, Mahoney G, Quon-Huber M, Zimmerman P. PLAY Project Home Consultation Intervention Program for Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Dev Beh Pediatr. 2014; 35(8): 475-485.

The team is documenting changes in expressive language skills and social interaction profiles of more than 100 children with ASD who received either PLAY Project or an alternate treatment. Stay tuned for results! If you are a student looking for laboratory opportunities and want to explore possible work on this project, contact Dr. Ratner at nratner@umd.edu.
