Electrophysiological Correlates of Social Feedback (ECOSf)
We are excited to invite you to participate in the Electrophysiological Correlates of Social Feedback (ECOSf) study which will help us learn more social motivation in children and teens. Results from this study will improve our understanding of how children and teens process social information during interactions with peers. Ultimately, findings from this study may help in the development of interventions for youth who have difficulty with social interactions. This study consists of two visits and participants will be compensated between $40 - $70 after completing the study.
We are recruiting children and teens ages 11-17 with and without ASD! Please take a look at our flyer below for more information about how to participate in this exciting study and contact us at lernerlab@stonybrook.edu or 631-632-7857 for questions!

Romantic Relationship Workshop to Improve Social Communication
|
The Relationship Workshop is a skill-based workshop that aims to help people develop skills to have healthy romantic relationships – what we call romantic competence. In our most recent study, we found that people who participated in the workshop showed increases in relationship confidence and healthy relationship decision making, compared to people who didn’t receive the workshop. Our goal is to confirm that a modified version of this workshop can be helpful for young adults (18-29 years old) with social communication difficulties.
If you are interested in our study, please find out more information on the flyer, and reach out to us following this link (or visiting the following url: http://bit.ly/workshopRE). Please feel free to contact us at: stonybrookrdc@gmail.com.

We are specifically recruiting primary care providers who treat patients under 22 years of age. If you are a primary care provider who treats patients under 22 years of age and would like to take our survey you can do so here:

Investigating Social Patterns in Youth (I-SPY)
We are conducting a research study to learn more about the role that different factors play in kids’ and teens’ “real world” social functioning. This study consists of a few short visits to our lab, one of which includes a pizza party! This study will help us to better understand how effective social competence develops, and to create more effective and precise treatments for youth with ASD.
We are recruiting children ages 11-17 with and without ASD! Check out one of the flyers below for more information about how to get involved!
