$30,000
The work related to this grant extended the long term interest of Dr. Summers in studying how individuals with AS learn and how their behaviors change based on carefully designed behavioral analysis methods in a structured environment. Most importantly, her work has led to development of a standardized and easy to implement assessment battery, specific to AS, which will help to further study and understand learning ability in AS.
