 ABC News: EARLI Study Looks for Answers
The Early Autism Risk Longitudinal Investigation (EARLI) Study is featured on Philadelphia's 6ABC. Craig Newschaffer, PhD, of Drexel University's School of Public Health, leads the study, which looks at possible environmental and genetic links to autism by studying pregnant mothers of a child with ASD. The Center for Autism Research at CHOP is conducting all clinical assessments of the newborn children and siblings with ASD. CAR and Drexel have made it easy for families who participate in EARLI to also participate in the Infant Brain Imaging Study (IBIS), conducted by Sarah Paterson, PhD at CAR, by using many of the same tests and measures.
