CliniKids is a new not-for-profit clinic providing clinical services to children with early developmental delay and/or autism, and their families. It is the first of its kind for autism in Australia.
CliniKids provides therapy support and individualised programs to help children and families to reach their full potential.
The CUB Study is interested in supporting families of a newborn where there is a family history of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability.
Interactions between parents and babies are among the most influential experiences in a child’s life. This study is testing a world-first program that helps parents understand their baby’s early social and communication abilities and empowers parents to interact with their baby in a way that supports their early development.
Through this study, we are seeking to understand whether this new program improves the language and social development of babies.
Recruitment is now open. If you are pregnant and you or your partner's immediate family have a history of autism (or ADHD or intellectual disability) and you would like to participate, please contact:

Our researchers are trialling a new group-based exercise intervention for young people aged 8-15 years who have a neurodevelopmental disorder (ASD, ADHD or DCD) associated with significant movement challenges.
The study involves three visits to UWA to evaluate your child’s movement, activity levels, quality of sleep and general health PLUS attending a free group exercise program, run by accredited exercise physiologists, once a week for 20 weeks (approx. 1 hr per session).

Some children diagnosed on the autism spectrum experience difficulty with movement. These difficulties often emerge early and can impact on many aspects of their life.
The aim of the Gait and Posture Study (GAPS) is to evaluate a foundational skill most children acquire between 12-18 months of age and master by approximately three years – walking.
The study will examine some of the ongoing challenges children diagnosed with ASD experience with walking (e.g., low muscle tone) and how interventions may better target these difficulties to improve functioning and participation.
If you have a child aged between 3-5 years with a diagnosis of autism OR without a diagnosis of autism or any other developmental concerns and you would like more information, please contact:
