Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus · Mathematics & StatisticsLaboratory for Communication Development in Autism
Agata Rozga · Atlanta, Georgia
Research Focus
Dr. Agata Rozga's lab focuses on understanding communication development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially those who are minimally verbal. The lab employs advanced computational models to analyze early prelinguistic skills such as vocalizations, gestures, and joint attention. Their ultimate goal is to identify predictors of language outcomes to help guide interventions for children at risk of staying minimally verbal.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
