University of Michigan Autism & Communication Disorders Center

Our mission is to improve the lives of individuals with autistic spectrum disorders and their families through the education of current and future leaders in the field, research that enhances the understanding of causation, intervention, prevention, and course, and provision of clinical services to individuals, families and the community.

At UMACC, research and training initiatives strengthen clinical services by incorporating the latest research findings and sharing this information with families. At the same time, families have the opportunity to be a part of the research studies-and help expand scientific knowledge through their participation.
