14.01.2022 We want to know about your journey in seeking a diagnosis of ASD or ADHD for your child, and what support services or therapies you may have used. The Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, Monash University, is looking for ways to reduce time diagnosis and identify ways to improve support services for families in the future. This survey will take 60-90 minutes to complete: https://tinyurl.com/monashDAMCAA

09.01.2022 Speech and language difficulties are common in ADHD and ASD. Although this research here isn't about ADHD or ASD, it's helpful to understand the broad brain networks that help pull language together.
