Welcome to the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Lab at the University of South Carolina! Our lab is dedicated to understanding the development of infants and children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, and autism spectrum disorder.
The NDD Lab is currently recruiting:
- Children 2 years of age or younger who have fragile X syndrome
- Children 3 years of age with the fragile X premutation
- Children 3 years of age with experiencing typical development
- Infants 12 months of age or younger with an older full biological sibling with autism spectrum disorder
- Infants 6 months of age or younger with an older full biological sibling experiencing typical development
Visits consist of assessments of your child’s developmental skills, as well as interviews and questionnaires with you, the parent(s), regarding your own experiences and perceptions of your child’s development. Assessments last 3-4 hours each, and most research assessments take place in the home at a time convenient to the family.
