The goal of this study is to examine the ability of salivary RNA panel to distinguish children who screen positive for developmental delay at 18 months-48 months, who are ultimately diagnosed with ASD or Developmental Delays. This project characterizes salivary RNA profiles, including small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and microbiota, in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Teaching Skills to Toddlers: A Program for Caregivers

TCH Autism Center- Kochel Lab

8080 N. Stadium Drive Suite 100 Houston, TX 77030

The study tests for a new online intervention program for caregivers of children aged 18-48 months with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Participating families will be given access to a website for parents that may help teach children important skills for learning and communicating. The efficacy of the website examines effectiveness of the intervention with improving parents’ knowledge of intervention strategies, influences of parents’ self-efficacy with the parent training program, the effectiveness of techniques when teaching their child a new skill, and improvements in children’s social communication.

ResearchPALs- Research Participation Awareness List

TCH-Autism Center- Kochel Lab (12/2018 - present)

8080 N. Stadium Drive, Suite 100 Houston, TX 77030

Joining research projects about issues that matter to you can help researchers find answers to the questions you care about. Many families have never had the opportunity to participate in research, or are unsure of what's involved and how it might benefit their family. Furthermore, it can be difficult to stay up-to-date on approved projects, or to know if a study would be a good fit. Dr. Robin Kochel's Research PALs program at Baylor College of Medicine helps you stay connected with autism research by keeping you informed about new opportunities.
