The seminars will run Thursdays from July 13th to August 24th (excluding July 20th), covering topics such as autism in low-resource settings, adaptation of assessments or intervention for diverse communities, and biomarker findings across the autism spectrum in diverse samples.
The presentations are designed for students, post-doctoral fellows, other early-career investigators, stakeholders, and families interested in autism research. Clinicians and established researchers would like a snapshot of the current state of science in topics outside their area of expertise may also find these sessions of value.
