It might be ideal to give families caring for children with ASD a choice between telehealth vs. F2F, in-person format for clinical/therapeutic service delivery.

School and clinic-based services for children with ASD are at a greater risk for disruption in a future pandemic.

Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, service disruptions and negative health impact were greater for families having a child with ASD but more so in younger children, children with greater ASD severity, and children from low-income families.

Telehealth approach promotes more family-centered interventions for some children with ASD during the pandemic.

Thank you APTA for recognizing this work with the Chattanooga Award! Adding motor problems to the definition of ASD will make motor screening, evaluation, and treatment more accessible to children with ASD.

Check out this article with collaborators, Drs. Srinivasan, Ekbladh, and Freedman on service needs of children and youth with ASD in the state of Delaware.

Check out this article my group and collaborator, Sudha Srinivasan published on pivoting to a hybrid clinical trial approach for children with ASD during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Check out this article by my student, Wan-Chun Su on safely collecting neuroimaging data using portable NIRS during the pandemic.

Check out this paper on how motor problems in ASD relate to core and co-morbid issues (social, language, cognitive, function).

Our new NIH R01 study will determine motor and multisystem clusters in a large group of children with ASD.

@spellchamp1 Hi Sriram, I purchased your book for my son. He came 4th in the reg. bee and is working for next year's SBee. Can you email me a pdf copy of ur' book? That is easier to convert into a word doc list (v. hardcopy). anjana.bhat@gmail.com (UDel Prof, PT). Thx. AB

@stutii14 Any words of wisdom you can provide on developing his spelling skills beyond are much appreciated. I am a professor at Univ of Delaware and could access UD library books. What else could i be accessing for him to learn roots and words from other languages?

@stutii14 I have been reviewing your website spelling mantra. It is beautifully put together. I have a 5th grader son who reads a lot and got out at 4th place in regional without much prep. So we are trying to put a strong effort this year.

@stutii14 Hi Stuti, I was wondering if you are the same Stuti who is a superb speller. I wanted to thank you for the wonderful videos you have developed. I was curious to know how you learned this information. What would one read to develop this understanding?

fNIRS allows us to study brain activation as children perform a variety of tasks between people, for example, having conversations, playing instruments, or board games. It allows naturalistic interactions/movements that are not possible in an MRI scanner.

We also study the brain activation patterns of children as they engage in motor and social skills using functional near-infrared spectroscopy or fNIRS. fNIRS is similar to fMRI as it measures changes in brain oxygenation to a region.

Hello, I am a faculty at the University of Delaware in the Physical Therapy Department. I lead the Move2Learn Autism Lab on the UD STAR campus. My students and I work with children with autism. We study effects of various motor interventions (music, dance, hippotherapy, play).
