The Center for Autism Research (CAR) is based at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, with research and collaborations spanning CHOP, the University of Pennsylvania, and other academic institutions nationally and internationally. Our three-part mission is to understand the causes of autism, in order to develop effective interventions and supports through research; to serve the needs of autistic individuals and their family members through education and guidance throughout the lifespan; and to train the next generation of master clinicians and scientists in state-of-the-science best practices for autism screening, diagnosis, and treatment.

 

 SPARK for Autism Event
at We Rock the Spectrum

CHOP Center for Autism Research and We Rock The Spectrum in Northeast Philadelphia are hosting a SPARK Family Fun Event on February 19th!

Individuals on the autism spectrum and their parents are invited to RSVP for a day of fun, sensory-friendly activities where you can gather resources and participate in the SPARK for Autism Research Study!

SPARK is a first-of-its-kind national research study that seeks to understand more about the influence genetics has in the development of autism. 

Join us for a live on-site SPARK registration event and stay for all the fun that We Rock The Spectrum has to offer - climbing structures, crash mats and pillows, tunnels, swings, sensory toys, arts and crafts area and more! 

Participation involves online registration and saliva kit completion for parents and the individual on the autism spectrum. Participants will receive information on any genetic findings and will also receive an Amazon gift card.
