Our lab helped to launch the Project SEARCH initiative at Northwestern, and we have been thrilled to have an intern in our lab each year since its inception. Project SEARCH is a now-global network of programs aimed at training young adults with autism to secure employment and excel in the workforce.
Its outcomes fill an ever-growing need as the number of autism diagnoses steadily rise and adults on the spectrum increasingly find themselves with few options after leaving high school. Our lab is strongly invested in researching and providing support for individuals facing this important transition period.
