Welcome to Lafayette College’s Neurodiversity Lab!

Research in the Neurodiversity Lab aims to understand factors associated with the socioemotional well-being of neurodiverse children and youth and their families. We use multiple methods to explore how and why some neurodiverse individuals do well (build resilience) while others are at increased risk for mental health challenges. Current research topics include using electrodermal activity as a biomarker for child dysregulation, parenting experiences in the context of autism, and risk and resilience factors in neurodivergent college students.
