Center for Adults With Autism

Applied Research

Understanding strengths and challenges of young adults on the autism spectrum is critical to supporting them in leading productive and fulfilling lives within their communities. Faculty and students complete applied interdisciplinary research projects and extensive program evaluations, adding to a body of knowledge about best practices for achieving the goal of transitioning effectively into the community.

The Center for Adults with Autism is focused on being an effective interdisciplinary center, linking academic and community resources for young adults on the autism spectrum and their families. With more than 20,000 students on campus, numerous opportunities exist for young adults on the autism spectrum to engage in meaningful social interactions with their peers within a supportive environment. Additionally, community organizations and area high schools collaborate with the Center to promote community integration. The expected outcomes include greater opportunities for success in meaningful engagement and sustainable employment for adults on the autism spectrum.
