Early intervention starts here

We are a research lab at UofSC making breakthrough discoveries.

We study how babies look, act, and interact with their surroundings to find earlier signs of social disorders, like autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Not everyone knows what autism looks like in babies. But we’re working on it.

We are proud to be a leading autism research lab and serve as a resource for our community.
