This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the CFDA program "Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research" (93.865) will provide $431,750.00 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct an exploratory investigation on bilingualism, executive function, and brain organization in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The project aims to 1) characterize the associations between bilingualism and executive function abilities in children with ASD, and 2) assess the relationships between bilingualism and brain functional organization underlying executive function in this population. The research will examine 50 monolingual and 50 bilingual children with ASD between 8-12 years old, leveraging UCLA's expertise and facilities in the Los Angeles area where over 60% of the population is bilingual. The findings from this two-year project are expected to inform clinical recommendations for supporting language development and enhancing executive function in children with ASD.
