Main information
Type of service: Research Organisations
Website: http://www.basisnetwork.org
The British Autism Study of Infant Siblings (BASIS) is a collaborative research network for the study of infants at-risk for autism in the United Kingdom (UK). The primary aim of BASIS is to provide a platform for the study of infants at-risk for autism in the UK and to facilitate collaborative links between scientists working in the area. Using newly developed techniques for studying brain and behaviour in infants, BASIS scientists will investigate whether there are any differences in development between infants who have brothers or sisters with autism and those who do not. In the long term, this will help identify the early signs of the disorder, allowing for earlier and more effective intervention aimed at improving the quality of life of children with autism. The service caters for infants and children.
