Dr. Smith is a clinical psychologist who specializes in neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents. Her research focuses on understanding how neurobiological differences during brain development affect social communication, language, and cognition. This work relies on a combination of neuroimaging techniques, behavioral measures, and parent reports of their child’s abilities and preferences. She also studies how autistic individuals and individuals with Fragile X Syndrome process auditory information in their environment and how this affects social interactions and communication.
