Autism Acceptance Month

In recognition of Autism Acceptance Month, we are sharing our belief in the learning potential of all individuals—including people with autism.

Improving Comprehension for Students with Autism

Peer-Reviewed Research

The Cognition, Brain, and Autism (CBrA) Lab at the University of Alabama collaborated with Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes to study the comparative effects of Visualizing and Verbalizing (V/V) on the brains of children on the Autism Spectrum. This fMRI study, highlighted in several peer-reviewed papers, examined activity in the brain’s language areas during comprehension tasks.

Dr. Rajesh Kana, the head of the study, reported that “V/V resulted in changing brain response patterns in children with autism – more focused, specialized brain activity and functional connectivity as a result of intervention.” Associated significant increases in language comprehension were noted against matched controls.
