Resources about Autism
OTARC strives to develop and evaluate innovative approaches that enrich the lives of autistic people.
We achieve this through engaging with stakeholders in:
- research development
- knowledge transfer
- implementation of research findings.
These resources covers autism across the lifespan. We have those created by OTARC researchers and those created by researchers at other organisations.
