Welcome to the
SAGA PROJECT
Serious Games for Adolescents with Autism
March 17, 2020
The Senior Vice President for Research at Penn State University, Lora Weiss, announced that all face-to-face human subjects research that does not involve direct drug or device therapeutic benefit is to be postponed until further notice, effective March 15, 2020. As a result, all of our lab-based research protocols are currently suspended. IF you are a research participant currently enrolled in the SAGA study, you will be hearing from us directly about next steps. IF you are interested in participating in SAGA, you can still complete the online screening form (see below) and we will let you know when we can see you in person.
WHAT WE STUDY
The SAGA Project is an NIH-funded study under Dr. Suzy Scherf at the Penn State lab of Developmental Neuroscience. SAGA is a randomized clinical trial that uses serious game technology. The goal is to help develop social skills in adolescents with autism.
After an initial visit at Penn State University Park, our participants take home a laptop and play our video game for three months. Families come back two times for testing.
