Facial Affect Sensitivity Training (FAST)

The Center for Youth Development and Intervention at the University of Alabama is conducting a research study to evaluate a new computerized treatment for children 6 – 11 years old with certain difficulties, including low empathy or concern for others, which are difficulties that can put them at risk for developing behavioral problems. Enrollment is now open.

Picture
​Participants will be randomized to either FAST Therapy or a no-treatment control group. FAST therapy involves coming in for 11 sessions and the no-treatment group involves coming in for 7 sessions. There is no cost for this program. No matter which group your child is assigned to, we pay as you go and you will get a total of $300 if you finish the entire study. Your child will earn a number of small toys and a total of $40 cash. 

Interested in participating in FAST?

If you would like more information concerning the research, please reach out to our coordinator:
