Gait Retraining Using Visual Biofeedback of Knee Movement in Pediatrics with Cerebral Palsy
Remediation of Pediatric Attentional Deficits Using APT-3
We are looking to learn whether a computerized program called the Attention Process Training-3 (Apt-3) can improve the attention of school-aged children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or children who have had a history of concussion.

Improving New Memory and Learning in School-Aged Children with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
This study investigates whether a memory training program called the Modified Story Memory Technique (mSMT) can improve learning of school-aged children with memory impairment following a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Studying Brain Connections in Pediatric Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the relationship between brain function and how symptoms are expressed in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The study seeks to evaluate how symptoms of ASD vary in children.
