- This $160,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research by Northwestern University to investigate the mechanistic underpinnings of pragmatic language impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and FMR1 mutation conditions. The research aims to characterize the motor-speech skills contributing to pragmatic...
- This $2,308,368 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) supports research to investigate the relationship between visual attention, multimodal communication cues, and expressive language development in typically developing children and those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research, led by Vanderbilt University Medical Center, will leverage existing datasets and conduct new...
- This federal Project Grant award of $147,486.00, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", supports a mixed-methods research study focused on developing culturally responsive caregiver-implemented early language interventions for Latino children in Puerto Rico. The key objectives are to characterize the use of naturalistic language facilitation strategies by...
- This federal Project Grant award of $469,036, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), aims to characterize accuracy and variability in speech sound productions across bidialectal and bilingual preschoolers.

This $191,268 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (CFDA 93.173) program, will support Dr. Andrea Ford's research to adapt the ECHO model from the medical field for use in preschool education. The key objectives are to develop and deliver professional development for preschool educators to increase their use of neurodiversity-affirming communication strategies for autistic preschoolers. This will involve establishing an ongoing virtual learning community to engage preschool educators and researchers. The 4-year project aims to build Dr. Ford's expertise in community-engaged research methods, mixed-methods, and randomized controlled trials in educational settings. The work will be conducted by Dr. Ford in partnership with a team of NIH-funded experts in autism, communication, and implementation science.
