The UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment (CART) hosts “Advances in Autism 2026,” a full-day conference presenting the current state of autism science. Nationally renowned investigators and clinicians from UCLA share breakthroughs spanning from basic genetic research to late-stage intervention science. The 2026 program focuses on “Objective Phenotyping Approaches” and how these methods inform individualized care planning across the lifespan. Key sessions include evidence-based principles of early intervention (JASPER) and strategies for improving employment outcomes for autistic adults. By ensuring that accurate, evidence-based information remains accessible to clinicians and families, UCLA CART continues to lead the way in clinical innovation and neuro-inclusion advocacy on the West Coast.
