New York Collaborates for Autism has partnered with Sundance TV to promote the television series “The A Word”, which educates audiences about autism spectrum disorder. Our research lab has played a prominent role in launching Project SEARCH Collaborates for Autism in the Chicago area, and at Northwestern University in particular. We have been privileged to help students with autism gain employment skills as interns in our lab, and to watch many of these individuals go on to obtain competitive employment.
