The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) is a network of interdisciplinary centers advancing policy and practice for and with individuals with developmental and other disabilities, their families, and communities. The AIR-P is poised to be highly successful based on our partnership with AUCD and their network of 143 university centers who are now members of the AIR-P Network.
The interdisciplinary AIR-P Network leads, promotes, and coordinates national research activities to improve the physical health and well-being of autistic children and adolescents across the lifespan. The Research Network consists of the National Coordinating Center (NCC) based at UCLA as well as 15 Collaborating Research Entities (CREs – listed below) and six Research Nodes with expertise in priority areas for autistic individuals.
