10% Effort Mundy (CoPI) 7/1/21 - -6/30/25 $1,699,999.00
This study is designed to the relations between differences in teacher instruction and student
engagement and participation during classroom literacy and mathematics activities
in students with and without ASD. The study will evaluate the moderating role of classroom-
level (i.e., organization) and student level factors (i.e., ASD symptomology and severity) on the
relation among teacher instructional, student participation, and developmental and academic
outcomes. Second the study will examine teacher-student interactions as a mediator of student
developmental and academic outcomes from the beginning to the end of the school year

Virtual Reality Applications for Attention and Learning in Children with Autism and ADHD. The goal of
this longitudinal study is to examine the development of academic reading, math and writing skills in 80
children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and 40 age and IQ matched children with ADHD as
well as 40 children with typical development. Three assessments across 30 months of development will
provide cross-sequential data on the development of an elementary school group (8-11 years old) and a
secondary school group (12-16 years old). Two of the hypotheses to be examined are: 1) Impairments in
reading comprehension will be especially robust in the ASD, and these impairments are part of the
school-aged expression of the social-communication phenotype of ASD. 2) The ASD children will
display syndrome specific impairments of social attention and the degree of these impairments will
moderate learning, academic success, and social success for 8- to 18-year-old students with ASD.
1R21MH085904 - 01, 5/30/09-6/01/11 Virtual Reality and Social Skill in Autism
(P. Mundy, P.I.,)
The aim of this research program is to develop new methods for social-cognitive neuroscience research
and evaluation with higher functioning children with autism. A second aim is to test novel hypotheses
about the biomarkers of processes that lead to individual differences in the social learning of HFA
children. The long term goal of this study is develop innovative therapeutic applications of virtual reality
(VR) technology to provide a cost effective solution to the problem of improving methods for promoting
generalization in social skills training (SST) for children with higher function autism (HFA). Total Direct

in family members in relation to differences in social symptom presentation and comorbid anxiety in
children with autism. Total costs $1,500,000.
