Our Goal

The goal of the Online Developmental Screening Study is to test new methods of screening for Autism in the community. This study tests the effectiveness of a video-based screening tool to track developmental milestones in babies. We will also examine how feasible it is to conduct a screening study using only online procedures.

We hope that this research will help parents understand their child’s development and gain access to resources when needed.

Who Can Participate?

  • Parents of infants younger than 6 months old

What Does This Study Involve?

  • Six online screening sessions (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months)
  • An average online session will last approximately 15-20 minutes
  • Diagnostic evaluations via a secure video platform at 24 months and an in-person visit at the MIND Institute at 36 months if there are any developmental concerns about your baby.
  • Families will receive $25 compensation for each completed online session and $50 for a visit to the MIND Institute.
