The Autism Intervention Research Network on Behavioral Health (AIR-B) is a network of researchers seeking to advance evidence-based behavioral treatments for children with autism spectrum disorders, particularly those in underserved and minority communities. The network is composed of nine sites across the country:
· University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)- Center for Autism Research and Treatment (CART)
· University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC)
· University of Pennsylvania -Center of Mental Health Policy and Services Research (CMHSR)
· University of California, Davis (UC Davis)- Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorder (MIND Institute)
· A.J. Drexel Autism Institute
· Florida State University (FSU)
· Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI)
· New York-Presbyterian Center for Autism and the Development Brain (CADB)
· University of Washington (UW)
| The network is conducting a number of studies to assess the efficacy and sustainability of community-based treatments and is working with members of the community to ensure that these treatments are addressing the challenges that children with autism spectrum disorders face in day-to-day life. In these efforts, we hope to make substantial advancements in the field, to empower educators, professionals, and parents with the tools they need, and most importantly to make a difference in the lives of children with ASD. |
