Families with Autism Research Opportunities
Recruiting for families of children of all ages
The Families, Autism, and Child Emotion Studies lab, directed by Dr. Naomi Ekas, is
based out of the Department of Psychology at the Fort Worth campus of Texas Christian
University. The primary focus of our research is to investigate the social and emotional
development of infants and children. The research collected in our lab is used to
examine the development of typically developing children as well as children diagnosed
with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
We are currently recruiting for several different studies for families of children
of all ages. Please visit our website www.tcufaces.com for more information, or email us at: tcufaces@gmail.com.
