The Institute for Autism Research and Department of Psychology recently received a $379,731 federal grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging to examine the relationship between aging and aspects of ASD in older adults.
We are asking for your help in this new program of research. Please reach out to older friends and family members who might be willing to participate in this study. You can also participate yourself.
The focus of this grant is on individuals age 65 and older. However, participants are not required to be 65 and older and they do not need a diagnosis of ASD to participate in this study. An important component of this research project is the assessment of adults of all ages with varying degrees of ASD characteristics from none – high.
To participate, simply go to: canisius.edu/iar_aging.
Study participants will complete approximately 30 minutes of online surveys and a small number of participants will be asked to do a battery of in-person assessments. Participants will be characterized on multiple domains of aging including physical health, cognitive performance, characteristics of ASD and psychological well-being.
Please be aware that you are under no obligation to participate. Your participation in this research will in no way impact your relationship with Canisius or the services you could receive in the future from the IAR or community-based ASD service programs.
If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Lodi-Smith, associate professor of psychology, at lodismij@canisius.edu or (716) 888-2513.

Starting at the beginning of the spring semester, the Center for Online Learning and Innovation (COLI) will offer workshops covering the essentials of using D2L. If you are a new professor or have taught at Canisius for a while but would like to learn or review essentials of D2L, this is an ideal opportunity.
In this training session, professors get the very basics of teaching in D2L such as:
- Uploading files so students can get them
- Organizing your course content
- Setting due dates so students can see them (in multiple places)
- Building a gradebook
Discover all sorts of other features useful for teaching classes. The workshop will be offered at two different times:
- Thursday, January 17 at 10:00 a.m. in OM 119
- Tuesday, January 22 at 5:00 p.m. in OM 119
Review the COLI calendar to see times and locations for other training events.
