To see if eye tracking (ET) or electroencephalogram (EEG) assessments have potential use in future clinical trials of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

The goal of this study is to help researchers across the nation develop and tailor healthcare treatments to the individual. They will do this by collecting data & biospecimens that may enable a broad spectrum of research studies.

Learn more about healthy baby development and develop new tools for pediatricians so they can better support the unique development of each child.

To better understand the genetic changes that make children susceptible to the development of autism spectrum disorder, and to study how these changes influence clinical outcomes.

Determine how potentially stressful situations, including prematurity, hospitalizations, maternal mental health and rapid repeat births can impact a baby’s development in the first 12 months of their life.

The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable families in Los Angeles, including those caring for a child with special health care needs. Information from this research will be used to understand what the key resource and service needs of families are at this time as well as identify interventions that can be developed or adapted to address these needs.

We are conducting a research study about visual problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We believe that many children with autism may have undiagnosed eye problems because they cannot explain when they have trouble seeing and may not undergo routine eye exams. We hope to develop a method to screen for visual problems in using a new, non-invasive technology called eye tracking. We will use a camera to record your child’s eye movements as they watch video clips for 15-20 minutes.

Study early development in infants who have an older sibling with autism.

The primary aim of this registry will be to identify genes and/or biologic and environmental factors that either cause these tumors or increase one's risk for developing them. Ultimately, research using this registry may result in improved diagnosis, more effective treatments and possibly prevention.
