Teaching conversation to children with ASD

[Guest guest]

Forwarding from another mailing list, just in case if someone is interested./ NoelDear members of listserv,

My name is Geetika Agarwal. I am a graduate student currently working on my dissertation research which looks at the effect of a child's motivation on learning conversational skills. We are recruiting children between the age of 4 to 12 years with the diagnosis of ASD for this study.

To be eligible, a child should possess the following skills:

1. Strong verbal imitation skills (be able to imitate/repeat 4-5 word phrases).

2. Be able to answer simple wh- questions (what is your name etc.) with

minimal to no prompting.

3. Seldom ask questions or initiate interaction with others.

4. Have no significant problem behavior that can interfere with the study.

The study is currently underway and we are looking to add more participants to our group. It is an individual, one on one intervention research. The research is being conducted at the Marcus Autism Center, Atlanta, Georgia.

If you are interested to know more about the project or have any question, feel free to contact me at or email me at gaq3f@... or geetikaagarwal@....

I look forward to hearing from you.
