Evolution of Autism Research & Training: The SEARCH Center’s Role in the IE

About

The UCR SEARCH Center was established almost two decades ago to address the autism service void in the IE. Today’s webinar will focus on two ongoing clinical and service activities that address (1) UCR innovations in screening and early diagnosis for autism, and (2) autism in young adults, including presentation and diagnosis in college, inspired by the film, Autism Goes to College. This special event is part of the Brilliant Minds, Alumni Webinar Series. Featured Panelists: Dr. Jan Blacher, Ph.D., Distinguished Research Professor in the School of Education at UCR and the Department of Psychology at UCLA, Founding Director of SEARCH Autism Center at UC Riverside Dr. Katherine Meltzoff, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the School of Education at UC Riverside, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Director of the SEARCH Center at UCR, and Faculty member in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience.
