It's launched and we already have one backer!

Sep 01, 2014

It's launched and we already have one backer!Well, this project has launched! It is very exciting, I have been sharing it across all manors of social media and email hoping to spur interest. So far, we have one backer and we are 9% funded! 
On the project side of things, I received notice last week that my IRB has been approved and I am now just waiting for the official notice. I am thinking it will come in tomorrow, as today was Labor Day. Once the IRB is back, I will begin my recruitment. I have been working with a local school here that is willing to spread the word to parents in order to recruit participants. Keeping my fingers crossed. 
Please pass the project along and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Building guidelines when assessing motor skills in children with autism spectrum disorder.

University of Virginia

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are among the fastest growing population of pervasive developmental disorders. These children have also demonstrated deficits in gross motor performance. However, what is lacking in research is the clear understanding of what modifications are best when providing the Test of Gross Motor Development, 3rd Ed. (TGMD-3). This study seeks to create a set of modifications to the administrative protocol.
