Clinical Strategies for Increasing Inclusion in Neuroscience Research Across the ASD Spectrum

SIG Leaders: Emily S. Kuschner & Christine Wu Nordahl SIG Co-Leaders: Mark D. Shen & Kevin G. Stephenson This SIG aims to increase inclusion in neuroscience research across the ASD spectrum by bringing together multidisciplinary teams conducting neuroimaging and neurophysiology studies of individuals with ASD who are minimally/nonverbal or who have intellectual disability. The objective of the meeting is to use small working groups and large group discussion to compile clinical approaches researchers are using to maximize successful, high quality data collection from across the autism spectrum. SIG content generated by researchers, clinicians, trainees, and stakeholders at the meeting will be disseminated via an open-access, peer-reviewed collaborative guidelines paper and/or open-source website.
