The Institute for Autism Research (iar) is an interdisciplinary collaborative research center dedicated to understanding autism and related developmental disorders and enhancing the lives of those affected and their families. Researchers from diverse backgrounds work together to address critical questions involving causes, development, assessment, clinical treatment, and education. This research work has led to development of several new and effective treatments which are provided by the iar staff, our community partners and schools.

Researchers at the iar are also dedicated to training the next generation of researchers and practitioners through advanced academic, research, and clinical and community-based experiences. To learn more, click on the iar Links in the left navigation.
