Marcus Autism Center

Thanks to a $21.9 million grant from the late Bernie Marcus and The Marcus Foundation, Marcus Autism Center will conduct the largest-ever study of children across the autism spectrum to identify new targets for better treatments for children and families affected by profound autism. Clinicians and researchers will conduct the study alongside ongoing clinical practice at Marcus Autism Center to identify factors that can lead to an improved treatment response. The study will include 7,500 children from infancy to early adolescence, to support learning and to help make symptoms less severe, ultimately promoting a better quality of life for children and families affected by profound autism.
