Targeting Brain Plasticity in Autism using a Reading Intervention

Learn about research on biomarkers and autism as well as an intervention that affects brain plasticity. Handouts are online at https://autism.org/reading-intervention/ Free certificates of participation are available upon successful completion of a brief knowledge quiz at https://autism.org/wp-admin/post.php?... Dr. Rajesh Kana is a Marilyn Williams Elmore & John Durr Elmore Endowed Professor of Psychology at the University of Alabama, and also the Director of the Center for Innovative Research in Autism (CIRA) at UA.
