Abstract

● Children with ASD have difficulty with social cues, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests

● Many of these signs show up after a diagnosis and many children remain undiagnosed until school-age

● We want to demonstrate the utility of a screening tool to identify infants at risk for ASD

● This tool could enable earlier identification and treatment for those who have unknown risk for ASD

Description

The Annual Mary Lou Fulton Mentored Research Conference showcases some of the best student research from the College of Family, Home, and Social Sciences. The mentored learning program encourages undergraduate students to participate in hands-on and practical research under the direction of a faculty member. Students create these posters as an aide in presenting the results of their research to the public, faculty, and their peers.
