Looking for diagnostic evaluation for you child?

Participate in our study?

Our mission is to make autism assessment more objective and accessible by developing smartphone-based technology designed to support clinicians. By participating in our study, your child may receive a comprehensive autism evaluation at no cost while contributing to research that could help improve the diagnostic process.

About the study

BlinkLab is conducting a research study to evaluate smartphone-based technology designed to support clinicians in autism assessment. Your child will take part in short, child-friendly video sessions on a smartphone, while you'll complete a few questionnaires.

The technology is designed to support a clinical evaluation and is not intended to diagnose autism on its own.

By participating, your child will:

  • Receive a comprehensive, in-person autism evaluation conducted by qualified clinicians at no cost
  • Receive $250 compensation after completing all study activities
  • Help evaluate new technology designed to support clinicians in autism assessment
