Research
Stringing beads

One mission of the DFW Center for Autism is to produce research that is socially significant and beneficial to the autism community. We have collaborated with the department of behavior analysis at the University of North Texas to address important issues such as teacher training, social and play skills, and developing measurement systems. Results of these studies have been presented at a number of local and national conferences.
