The purpose of the More and Less Social Comprehension study conducted by the KU CALL Lab is to learn more about how children’s abilities impact their understanding of different types of stories.

Who? 9- to 12-year-olds who are autistic/ children who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD), speak English, and use phrase-level verbal communication.

What? You (the parent/guardian) will fill out forms about your child’s development. Your child will listen to stories and complete assessments of their language, social communication, reading, and nonverbal cognition.

How? Complete two in-person sessions (~2.5 hours each; 5 hours total) at the time and location of your convenience.

When? After school and weekend participation times available.

Risks/Benefits? There are no risks or discomforts anticipated. There are minimal direct benefits to you (a report upon request) and others.

Compensation? Participants receive a small prize after each session and families receive hourly compensation ($20/hr) for each visit completed ($40-$100) and an optional report.
