Our core mission is to advance the best science of clinical care for individuals with autism and their families. Our clinical services include evaluations, treatment and capacity-building consultations to schools and the community at large. Our research covers a wide range of clinical and basic science projects, from gene-finding to access to community services. The focus of this research is social and communication development, linking genes to brain to behavior. We train the next generation of leaders in the field in various disciplines of science and clinical care. And we are deeply involved with parent support and governmental agencies, having the ultimate goal of advancing knowledge, disseminating best practices, and improving services in the community.
