OHSU Autism Seminar Series Presents:

“Autism during early childhood: Advancing methods to quantify clinical phenotypes and outcomes”

So Hyun “Sophy” Kim, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor, Center for Autism and the Developing Brain, Weill Cornell Medicine

Dr. So Hyun “Sophy” Kim is a clinical researcher with an extensive background in identification of early behavioral phenotypes and examining developmental trajectories of children with ASD. Dr. Kim received a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from University of Michigan and completed postdoctoral training at Yale University Child Study Center. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Center for Autism and the Developing Brain (CADB) at Weill Cornell Medicine. Dr. Kim has led the development of the new treatment outcome measure for ASD, the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC) as well as a new language measure, the Observation of Spontaneous Expressive Language (OSEL), in collaboration with Dr. Catherine Lord. Currently, she is a PI of a NIMH funded project designed to examine the mechanisms of early, parent-mediated interventions for toddlers with ASD. Most recently, Dr. Kim has led efforts to examine school readiness in kindergarteners with ASD while integrating behavioral and electrophysiological (ERP/EEG) methods, with a particular focus on executive function.
