Biography
Katarzyna Chawarska, PhD, specializes in child psychiatry. She is the director of the Social and Affective Neuroscience of Autism Program and the Yale Toddler Developmental Disabilities Clinic at the Yale Child Study Center.
Chawarska's research focuses on understanding and improving treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her work explores the impact of medications on children with ASD, how early signs can predict language development, and interventions used to support children with ASD in educational settings.
Chawarski’s research has been supported by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Mental Health, and Autism Speaks.
Chawarska is the Emily Fraser Beede Professor of child psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine.

Biography
Katarzyna Chawarska, PhD, specializes in child psychiatry. She is the director of the Social and Affective Neuroscience of Autism Program and the Yale Toddler Developmental Disabilities Clinic at the Yale Child Study Center.
Chawarska's research focuses on understanding and improving treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her work explores the impact of medications on children with ASD, how early signs can predict language development, and interventions used to support children with ASD in educational settings.
Chawarski’s research has been supported by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Mental Health, and Autism Speaks.
Chawarska is the Emily Fraser Beede Professor of child psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine.
