Stress & Coping in Autism Research Team
I seek 2 WRP students to assist with ongoing research projects on the role of stress in lives of those on the autism spectrum. Join me as part of our research team (directed by Matthew Goodwin ’98) at Providence, RI’s Groden Center, a treatment center for children and adults on the autism spectrum. You’ll get a glimpse into the amazing world of children and young adults on the autism spectrum and practice basic research skills. Our team continues to explore ways to measure stress, and to adapt teaching and treatment strategies and technological innovations to facilitate coping with the stress of life. Current projects include telemetric measures of arousal (heart rate, GSR, motor movements) & stress, development and testing of face and emotion recognition devices, testing the effectiveness of various interventions on teaching coping with stress The team also welcomes interns.
Academic year: 2010-2011
