The UI Family and Consumer Sciences within the College of Agriculture was awarded a research grant funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for 2009-2011.  This study will investigate how siblings can help their brother/sister with autism learn to play socially.  To be eligible for the study, a family must have a child with autism who is between 18 to 48 months old and a sibling whose age is 3 years or older. During the first year, the family must also live in the Moscow/Pullman area. If you are interested in participating, please contact Dr. Ling Ling Tsao by phone (208) 885-7321 or email ltsao@uidaho.edu for further information.  Click here to view Dr. Tsao’s request for volunteers.
