Research Partnerships

The Unumb Center highly values research into autism spectrum disorder, applied behavior analysis, and related topics that promote well-being in families affected by autism. Examples of research collaborations with our current staff include:

• A systematic review of preference assessments for edible items in children with food refusal in collaboration with the Pediatric Feeding Disorders Program at the Kennedy Krieger Institute.
• A research project investigating the efficacy of the toddler parenting groups in partnership with Dr. Jessica Bradshaw at the University of South Carolina.

If you are currently conducting research and would like us to consider sharing your study information with our families, please contact info@unumbcenter.org.
