Peer-Reviewed Publications and Presentations

The Autism Services Research Group has worked hard over the years in establishing a solid foundation of evidentiary support of our findings. Collectively, we have presented at over 200 conferences and lecture series across the globe to speak on our contributions to the field and to share our message on how we can all work towards providing accessible, high quality support services for the autism community, caregivers, practitioners, and educators. If you are interested in our work, or would are interested in joining the ASRG Team, please get in contact with us.
