The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $710,632 federal Project Grant under the National Institutes of Health's Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The project, titled "IDENTIFYING AND DISTINGUISHING EARLY INDICATORS OF AUTISM IN LATINO CHILDREN (IDEAL)", aims to identify and measure the early developmental trajectories of language and communication skills in Latino children, as well as assess and characterize the emergence of autism symptoms among Latino children with a high and low likelihood of autism. The 5-year project began on February 1, 2025 and is scheduled for completion on January 31, 2030. The research seeks to address disparities in identifying Latino children with autism and provide recommendations for culturally and linguistically informed services.
