Early Autism and Communication Research Clinic (EACRC)
(608) 263–3123
Director: Susan Ellis Weismer, PhD and Morton Ann Gernsbacher, PhD
This clinic provides developmental, communication, and diagnostic evaluation services to children between ages 2 and 3 years old who have been diagnosed or are suspected to be on the autism spectrum and who participate in the Toddler Talk Project, a federally–funded longitudinal study of early communication skills in children on the autism spectrum. Specialists in autism and speech–language disorders provide evaluations to families, as well as information on diagnosis (when appropriate) and speech and language development. Families work closely with the psychologist and speechlanguage pathologists during the evaluation, and families and staff meet together after the evaluation to review findings. Families are given information on community resources that may be available to them to access needed services for their child.
