Research has explored the socio-emotional development of children with autism who have completed treatment and have achieved “normal functioning” in terms of intellectual and adaptive abilities. Dr. Bailey is interested in exploring the subtle differences in social abilities (e.g., Theory of Mind) that may remain following intensive treatment. Dr. Bailey has also participated in research exploring children’s impression formation and the impact of peer acceptance, neglect, and rejection on a child’s functioning.
