What we do:
|
We
seek to advance the understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in
children and adults, and to contribute to the development of effective treatments
and interventions. Our research examines the social, cognitive, linguistic, and
neural underpinnings of autism. We also host
professional training and the Community-wide Learning about Autism Speaker
Series: UMARC CLASS has transitioned to a podcast format rather than in-person
events to make attending talks easier for families, students, and professionals
in the community and throughout the world!
