We are interested in understanding the very early development of children with developmental disorders, and developing new ways of assisting their brain development.
Our aim is to support each and every baby to reach their full potential by providing them the right support at the right age. Our current projects in this area are:
We have a strong focus on better understanding what interventions (or combinations of interventions) work at a specific time for a specific family and child on the autism spectrum.
Our aim is to find new ways to reduce the disability associated with autism, and help promote the strengths of each and every child on the autism spectrum.
Our current projects in this area are:
Our team is seeking to understanding more about the experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum during adolescence and adulthood.
Our aim is to understand more about the early life factors that may lead to more positive outcomes later in life.
We are committed to working with Government to support the development of timely, equitable and meaningful policy relevant to the autism community in Australia.
Our aim is to work collaboratively and provide evidence-based advice to Government that helps create positive change for each individual on the autism spectrum and their family.
Our current projects in this area are:
Our team is involved in a number of studies that are seeking to understand more about the biological pathways that may lead to autism.
Our aim is to use the knowledge gained from these studies to develop new therapies that may help reduce the disability associated with autism.
Our current projects in this area are:
