Vision plays a central role in the development of social interaction and communication, as well as in the exploration of the environment. Sensory particularities have been identified in neurodevelopmental disorders, and in autism spectrum disorders. My work focuses on studying the particularities of the visual system in autistic children and adults, as well as their repercussions on the daily lives of autistic people.
Ongoing project
Study of Visual Fixation in Neurodevelopmental Disorders
This project will measure visual fixation capabilities in 3 participant populations (Typical Development, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Cerebral Visual Impairment) to evaluate the prevalence of CVI in the ASD population.
