D&D for Anticipatory Nausea and Vomiting for Oncology Patients

D&D for Autistic Adolescents
While a student in health psychology and a faculty member at the University of the Sciences (now St. Joseph's University), Prof. Perlman proposed a pilot study to adapt D&D to a clinical psychology environment to determine if it might help autistic adolescents with executive functioning, social anxiety, and social communication. Prof. Perlman hopes to continue the research at CHOP as a LEND Fellow during 2023-2024.
