Autism Speaks is proud to be a major sponsor of the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR), taking place May 10 - 13 in San Francisco. The annual meeting is the world’s largest gathering of autism scientists, doctors, therapists, parents and individuals on the spectrum.
Events include more than 50 scientific presentations by Autism Speaks science staff and affiliated researchers supported by project grants and other resources. You can view the full lineup of Autism Speaks-affiliated presentations and activities in the program book below.
“I’m particularly pleased to see how this year’s presentations reflect the growth in research focused on teens and adults,” says Autism Speaks Chief Science Officer Thomas Frazier. “It’s crucial that we first grow our understanding of their needs across autism’s full spectrum. This will enable us to develop and adapt strategies to better address areas of particular need, including the successful transition to work and independent living, as well as treatments for associated physical and mental health issues.”
