Join a Clinical Trial!

Do you ever wonder why finding solutions to autism care is so difficult if you live outside of a big city?  One reason is that programs that test out autism solutions usually use people in cities as testers.  That means that the programs created end up being tailored to the needs of people in cities, which may not be the same as the needs of people who live outside of cities.  In order to help healthcare providers create better autism solutions for all Georgians, it is important for people who live outside of cities to get involved!  Below is a list studies that are recruiting participants.  If you’re able, please consider signing up!

Effectiveness Trial of Mobile ESI for Toddlers With Autism Identified by Early Screening in Primary Care (ESI-MC)
