The Hussman Institute for Autism is a research-based organization dedicated to advancing the understanding of autism and improving the lives of individuals with autism and their families. Through their various research programs and laboratories, they aim to identify the causes and neurological basis of autism, develop long-term interventions, and create a continuum of supports and resources for individuals with autism. Their vision is to support individuals with autism within their homes, schools, and communities, promoting learning, inclusion, communication, and meaningful relationships.
The institute takes a unique perspective, focusing on providing research and resources to enable individuals with autism to thrive in their everyday lives, rather than seeking to eliminate the condition or normalize individuals through therapy in segregated settings. Their goal is to empower individuals with autism by facilitating engagement, communication, and independence, while also supporting their families and promoting a greater understanding of autism in society.
