—<\/p>\n

Kessler Foundation<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday announced the opening of the Center for Autism Research, which will be led by Helen Genova, neuroscientist and associate director, and is dedicated to developing evidence-based research for children, adolescents, and adults on the autism spectrum.<\/p>\n

This new facility, located at 120 Eagle Rock Ave. in East Hanover has meeting rooms, testing facilities, and a new pediatric waiting room designed for the comfort of children and their parents.<\/p>\n

The focus of Center is to improve quality of life for neurodiverse individuals who communicate, interact, behave, and learn differently than neurotypical people. The Center will explore outcomes and develop interventions for adults and children on the spectrum, with particular focus on the critical transition from adolescence to adulthood.<\/p>\n

Genova is known for her research in disorders of social functioning in populations with autism, brain injury and multiple sclerosis, with broad-based funding from federal, state, and private sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday marks a turning point in autism spectrum disorder research,\u201d said Rodger DeRose, president and CEO of Kessler Foundation. \u201cWith the support of our donors and the work of our scientists and collaborators, we are confident that our Center for Autism Research will deliver much needed behavioral breakthroughs to the autism community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Center directly involves the autism community in multiple aspects of research, ensuring that the science is informed by those who matter the most. \u201cBy engaging the autism community, the Center will objectively deliver meaningful and accessible results to clinicians, educators, parents, and individuals on the autism spectrum,\u201d added DeRose.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to develop easily accessible tools for individuals on the spectrum to overcome barriers they face in community integration and social functioning. To address these issues, we are implementing principles of positive psychology, virtual reality technology, web-based interventions, and neuroimaging,\u201d explained Genova.<\/p>\n

Research in autism has been underway for more than a year at the Foundation, where Genova\u2019s team has worked on numerous studies, instituting a range of techniques and groundbreaking tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
