Jessika Vance-Morgan and Autism Research

The following is a message I received from Jessika:

Hello,

A couple of weeks ago I sent out an e-mail explaining my current research endeavors at Eastern Kentucky University. This reach is focused on using the NEPSY-II, a neuropsychological test that assesses executive functioning, senorimotor functioning, social perception, and visuospatial processing with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. I would like to examine the unique profile children with High Functioning Autism and Asperger's Syndrome in the Executive Functioning and Social Functioning aspects of this neuropsychological battery.

In order to have my research approved by the IRB, I must have an e-mail from various organizations that support Autism research that they will forward my information on to their e-mail lists, web sites, and discussion boards. If you feel that this research is one that you can support, please e-mail me back and let me know.

Your support of research and advocacy of Autism Spectrum Disorders is admired and appreciated. Thank you for your time.
