Director's Message
Happy March!
There is a lot of exciting news to share this month about the work we’re doing at the Center for Autism Research Center at Kessler Foundation.
First, read about scientific staff members who showcased their autism research at the International Neuropsychological Society Meeting (INSM) in San Diego, CA. You will also learn more about Mikayla Haas, a staff member who plays an integral role in developing new research tools in our Center.
Nadine Wright-Arbubakrr, a New Jersey advocate for children with autism, joined me in a collaborative article to highlight the importance of including individuals from underrepresented communities in scientific research. WrightArbubakrr is president of Nassan’s Place, a New Jersey based nonprofit organization that serves children and families affected by autism in and around underserved communities by providing educational and recreational programs, social outings, and resources. She’s also the mother of an adult child on the spectrum. I’m honored to know her and can’t wait for you to meet her too!
Please reach out to learn more about what we do or to join a research study at the Center for Autism Research. I would love to hear from you.

All the best,
