Let us introduce ourselves!

The Kasari Lab is a translational research lab devoted to improving the lives of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Dr. Kasari established the lab in 1997 with the goal of learning more about the core challenges that impact children with autism and developing meaningful interventions to help improve their lives. Our team is dedicated to researching evidence-based treatments that are impactful and flexible enough to meet the needs of diverse communities.
