Dear Parents,

The Stanford Center for Sleep in Autism and NIH Autism Center of Excellence (ACE) Program invite you to participate in our research study aimed at understanding how sleep affects children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Your participation will significantly contribute to advancing our knowledge of sleep physiology in children and teens with autism.

Our study involves in-person cognitive & behavioral assessments, an in-home two-night sleep monitoring session (polysomnography), and a daytime EEG. You may be eligible if your child:

  • Is between the ages of 4 and 17 years old
  • Has a clinical ASD diagnosis
  • Is English or Spanish speaking
  • Is located in the Bay Area or is willing to travel to Stanford

Upon completion of this study, you can receive a research sleep study report and behavioral testing summary (upon request) and reimbursement up to $200. If your child has sleep difficulties and between the ages of 8 and 17 years old, they may also qualify for the sleep medication trials that we are also conducting as part of the Stanford Center for Sleep in Autism.
