"While we still do not have all the answers to autism, what we do know is that the earlier you detect it, the earlier you can intervene and the better the outcomes for the child."
- Sally Ozonoff

The Mission of the Laboratory is:

To understand patterns of growth and change in young children with developmental differences, particularly those with autism spectrum disorders and other communication disorders.
To prevent or minimize the disability associated with developmental differences through early detection, early intervention, and family support.
To prepare talented people for careers in research and clinical care focused on children with developmental differences and their families.
To increase public awareness and knowledge of the abilities and needs of children and adults with developmental differences and their families.
