Jessica Bradshaw is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of South Carolina's McCausland College of Arts and Sciences. Her research examines early identification and intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), mapping neurodevelopmental pathways through behavioral, eye-tracking, and physiological methods. Research quantifies the emergence of social behavior, visual attention, and motor skills in infants at risk for ASD, with particular focus on birth to 5 months. Investigations identify pivotal developmental transitions and aberrant pathways leading to ASD, translating findings to early detection protocols and naturalistic developmental interventions. Publications establish neonatal autonomic regulation as a predictor of ASD symptoms, characterize early skill profiles across genetic likelihoods, and develop home-based eye-tracking methodologies. Her work advances understanding of how context and social content shape infant attention during critical developmental windows. Laboratory investigations at the Early Social Development Lab employ multi-method approaches to measure social communication development. Current projects examine motor development correlates of social communication and contextual influences on sustained attention.
