Ongoing research projects at KIND
On this page you can find ongoing research- and developmental projects at KIND. Most of our projects are about ADHD or autism spectrum conditions.
Sven Bölte's research group
ICF Core Sets for ADHD and autism
This research project will operationalize the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Sets for ADHD and autism into a user-friendly internet platform.
KONTAKT – A group-based social skills training method for autistic youth
Group social skills training with KONTAKT is a clinical intervention for autistic children and adolescents of school age.

Principal ResearcherKristiina Tammimies's research group
Tammimies lab
Our research aims at understanding the genetic and molecular architecture of NDDs, and how genetic variations affect symptoms, severity and intervention outcomes in affected individuals. Additionally, we aim at identifying molecular and cellular pathways affected by genetic and environment risk factors of NDD using neuronal cells.

Support in the transition to adulthood
The transition to adulthood can be challenging for young people with neurodevelopmental conditions. Timely and efficient support at this stage can be crucial for future life chances. At KIND, we are currently conducting a series of studies to learn more about the support needs of young adults, and how the support ideally should be delivered.
