Description:

The purpose of the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) research program is to contribute to the improvement of developmental, cognitive, communicative, academic, social, behavioral, and functional outcomes of students identified with autism spectrum disorder from preschool through Grade 12. The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of comprehensive programs and assessments (i.e., 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

1 Applicants interested in research on families of infants, toddlers, and preschool children should refer to the Early Intervention and Early Learning in Special Education topic.
