宅男研究所 Autism Center

About the 宅男研究所 Autism Center

 

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the most common developmental disorder.  “About 1 in 36 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network.” 

The Autism Center at 宅男研究所 is a collection of services for individuals of all ages with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Services are provided through the Department of Communication Disorders & Sciences and supported by funding from , donations, 宅男研究所, and program fees.  

  • The STEP Program component of the Autism Center provides transitional supports, skill development, and executive function coaching for academic and social success of 宅男研究所 college students with autism.   
  • The Diagnostic Evaluations and Therapy Services component of the Autism Center are conducted within the 宅男研究所 Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic as part of clinical training of CDS students.  Wait times for evaluations can be long, so CDS faculty conduct or supervise extra evaluations and consultations for the Autism Center to facilitate more timely evaluations and consultations for families and individuals with questions and concerns. Multi-disciplinary evaluations are available through the Autism Center.
  • A third type of service provided by the Autism Center is Professional Education.  The Fall Autism Conference is held yearly as a continuing education resource for professionals.  CDS faculty also provide in-services and presentations to local and state professional organizations or schools that relate to ASD on topics such as executive functions, social skills, augmentative communication, and feeding.
