Marcus Autism Center

As one of the largest autism centers in the U.S., Marcus Autism Center offers families access to the latest research, comprehensive testing, and science-based treatments. We conduct research into why and how autism develops by studying the different developmental trajectory for each child, and we establish evidence for best clinical practices. 

Education

Marcus Autism Center holds annual symposiums and a Grand Rounds series to share information with providers, researchers, and the community.

Grand Rounds seminars are held in partnership with the Behavioral Mental Health Center and are typically the second and fourth Thursday of the month. Speakers include Marcus Autism Center faculty and invited guests from other institutions.

See the "Upcoming Events" section of this page for details.
