Our Mission

At CoLLAB, we work with children with intellectual, developmental, and emotional disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder, and their families. Our research is collectively focused on teaching individuals communication skills, social skills, and coping skills. Our group conducts participatory therapy, which means that we involve the entire family in developing teaching programs for the participating child. We don't view disabilities as something that families suffer from; rather, we aim to empower individuals and their families with skills that will help them be successful.
