Purpose

Through its research program on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), the Institute supports research that contributes to the improvement of developmental, cognitive, communicative, academic, social, behavioral, and functional outcomes of students identified with ASD from preschool through Grade 12. The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of comprehensive programs and assessments (i.e., those designed to address multiple outcomes) that have been documented to be effective for improving the developmental, cognitive, communicative, academic, social, behavioral, and functional outcomes of students identified with ASD from preschool through Grade 12.1
