UCLA Autism Research

UCLA Autism Research involves studying the causes, development, and intervention strategies for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers explore genetic, neurological, and environmental factors to better understand why autism occurs. They develop and test early detection tools, behavioral therapies, and educational approaches to improve quality of life for individuals with autism. The goal is to identify effective support methods, enhance understanding, and ultimately improve treatment outcomes. UCLA's work contributes valuable insights to the field, helping families, clinicians, and educators better support those on the autism spectrum.
