Synopsis

Of the 3.5 million Americans living with autism, no two cases are exactly the same. And as they navigate life in school and the workplace in their own ways, their support services should reflect their particular needs. Today, Carolina researchers are working to create more comprehensive and personalized supports that will help people with autism spectrum disorder throughout their entire life course. In this week's podcast, we talk with Laura Klinger, an associate professor of psychiatry and the executive director of the UNC TEACCH Autism program, about Carolina’s world-leading autism research, the various intervention programs developed by TEACCH and new intervention techniques being implemented for people from 9 months old to 70 years old.
