Summary
My research examines sensory differences in autism and their impact on social communication, language, and adaptive skills. I aim to understand how sensory processing shapes functional outcomes in children. Using clinical data from children referred for autism evaluations, I characterize individual behavioral and sensory profiles to capture the diversity observed in clinical populations. By combining standardized assessments with careful clinical observation, my work seeks to clarify the role of sensory processing in developmental outcomes and to inform tailored approaches to assessment and intervention, ultimately supporting better understanding and care for children with autism.
