Kristen Muller's research focuses on understanding and improving communication and language skills in autistic children, particularly those with minimal verbal abilities. Her work investigates alternative methods for assessing receptive language, including the feasibility of different word-understanding measures and the use of varied stimuli.
Muller is the Principal Investigator on a federal grant from the NIH/National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, totaling $196,143. This funding supports her study on measuring word understanding and visual attention skills in minimally verbal or non-speaking children with autism. Her research group also explores the link between motor and communication skills in this population, with a publication comparing children from the U.S. and India.
With an h-index of 5 and 10 publications, Muller has actively contributed to the field. Her recent work, published in 2022, 2023, and projected for 2025, highlights her ongoing commitment to advancing knowledge in child and adolescent communication disorders and behavioral health interventions.
