Current Research Project Descriptions
Has your Child Been Diagnosed with ADHD, an Autism Spectrum Disorder or a Reading-Specific Learning Disorder?
The RUSH Neurobehavioral Center (Skokie, IL), under the direction of the principal investigator, Dr. Clark McKown, Ph.D. and Meryl Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., is conducting a research study investigating the assessment of social-emotional learning skills in children who have difficulty with attention, social communication and functioning, and/or reading. The main goal of the study is to understand social and emotional strengths and needs of children in these diagnostic groups.
Children must be between the ages of 6-14 years old, with an average or above average intellectual functioning. Testing will take place during approximately two 3 hours sessions. Your child's ability to perceive, interpret, and reason about social information will be assessed. Parents and teachers will provide additional information collected via questionnaires. There is no fee for this service and feedback will be provided at the conclusion of study participation.
We expect that the application of the results of this study will impact the assessment of social-emotional learning skills in children, as well as the development of education and intervention programs for children with difficulties in these areas.
