Specialties

"As a clinician working with families, my goal is to offer care and support that brings together our scientific understanding of autism with warmth, genuine empathy, and respect for all families. In my research, I strive to deepen our knowledge of autism so we can better understand its causes and how it affects the everyday experiences of children and families. I feel lucky to work with children and families in both of these roles!"

    Research Description

    As a researcher, Dr. Neuhaus studies social-emotional experiences and mental health among individual with neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism, intellectual disability, ADHD, and rare genetic conditions.

    Broad goals include understanding the biological and genetic mechanisms underlying social and emotional experiences, charting developmental trajectories of social and emotional functioning as children and adolescents grow, exploring the role of individual differences as they affect outcomes, and identifying ways in which environmental factors and supports might influence and interact with these systems. Dr. Neuhaus also studies rare genetic conditions to learn more about how they affect neurodevelopment and mental health.

    To explore these topics most richly, Dr. Neuhaus includes a range of methods in her research, including self- and caregiver-report, structured clinical/behavioral assessments, and neurobiological methods (e.g., EEG). She also works in close collaboration with colleagues at Seattle Children's and the University of Washington.
