This talk by Prof. Cheryl Dissanayake will provide an overview of research undertaken at OTARC over the last decade. While our research was initially focused on the early childhood years, it now covers the developmental lifespan. We have numerous research projects underway at any given time, and as a team, strive to work at the nexus of research and practice, with a strong focus on improving the lives of those with autism and their families.
Venue: La Trobe University Bundoora (Melbourne), room LIMS1.101
Time: Thursday 31 May, 4-5pm
No RSVP necessary.
