The Graduate Training Initiative has compiled this comprehensive database of faculty who provide doctoral-level training in autism assessment and intervention. It is our hope that this database will be a unique and useful resource for prospective graduate students who are interested in pursuing doctoral training with a clinical and/or research focus in autism and/or developmental disabilities.
Each faculty member’s name is linked to their department or lab website, where you can find additional information.
If you would like to find out if a faculty member is taking students, or have any questions for a specific faculty member, please contact that faculty member directly.
If you have any edits or suggestions for the database below, please contact the ASDD SIG at [email protected].
