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 language profiles in FMR1 premutation carriers, examine associations between motor-speech and higher-order pragmatic abilities, and investigate the neural and molecular-genetic influences on these mechanisms. This work aims to illuminate the gene-brain-behavior pathways underlying core ASD symptom domains, with potential to inform intervention targets and diagnostic markers for ASD and FMR1 mutation conditions.
