Clinical Interests
Dr. Ozonoff is a licensed clinical psychologist who works clinically with individuals on the autism spectrum. Her specialty is in early diagnosis in the infant and toddler years.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Ozonoff's research focuses on very young children with autism. She is studying the onset of autism in a prospective investigation that follows high-risk infants from birth through age 3.
She is also developing an innovative autism screening instrument that uses video examples rather than written descriptions of behavior. Other research interests include early diagnosis of ADHD and prediction of later psychopathology from infant measures.
