Hussman Institute for Autism, Inc.

The Hussman Institute for Autism is dedicated to advancing the understanding of autism and improving the lives of individuals with autism and their families. Through their research programs on neuroscience, autism and brain development, neurochemistry, and more, they aim to identify the causes and neurological basis of autism, as well as develop long-term interventions and supports. Their vision is to provide research and resources that enable learning, inclusion, communication, and meaningful relationships for individuals with autism within their homes, schools, and communities.

The institute takes a unique approach by presuming competence and focusing on research-based teaching methods, communication, and independence, rather than seeking a cure or normalization. They strive to create a continuum of supports and resources that address immediate needs and empower individuals with autism to engage with those around them on a day-to-day basis. With a commitment to embracing differences and enabling communication, the Hussman Institute for Autism is dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals with autism and their families.
