One-on-one: USC professor explains recent autism study
Dr. Robert Hock, Associate Professor of Social Work, discusses his research study, "Autism Parent Navigators," a program designed to support parents of children recently diagnosed with autism.
Led by Jane Roberts, representing the Department of Psychology, and Jeff Twiss, from
the Department of Biological Sciences, this initiative strives to establish an interdisciplinary,
cooperative hub for advancing basic, clinical, and intervention research, as well
as education, focusing on autism and neurodevelopmental disorders at the University
of South Carolina
Mission: The mission of the CAN Research Center is to improve the health and well-being of
families and individuals with NDDs, including autism, intellectual disability, learning
disorders, and genetic syndromes (e.g., fragile X, Down Syndrome).
There is a massive need at every level. Pretty much everybody I meet has either direct or indirect experience with somebody with autism. It affects us in all areas, from education to economics.
