Wireless EEG System for Training Attention and Eye Movement in ASD
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cognitive Training, Eye Motor Training, and 1 other intervention for Autistic Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Current therapies for autism target social and language behaviors, but due to the high-level nature of these skills any improvement rarely extends beyond the targeted behavior. This project uses new technology to implement a novel concept for behavioral intervention to improve basic attention and eye movement skills in ASD. Because these basic skills form the foundation for good social communication, training these abilities has the potential to improve a broad spectrum of clinical symptoms, and in young children may affect the course of development.
