Researchers are looking for babies from birth to 9 months old who have an older sibling with an autism spectrum disorder, ADHD or even typical development.\"It can be a great resource to families in terms of getting that close monitoring of their child\u2019s early development,\" Miller said.Families can expect several visits to the UC Davis MIND Institute, close tracking of development and feedback from experts.They will receive $25 in reimbursement for each visit, and $50 for completing questionnaires.--For more information, contact Alesha Hill at 916-703 0297 or by emailing ahill@ucdavis.edu."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
