Oakland University Center for Autism Research, Education and Support
Welcome to the Oakland University Center for Autism Research, Education and Support (OUCARES) website!
OUCARES integrates academic course work, knowledge
and research with hands-on work in the community to prepare
professionals to be leaders in the autism community. Through these
academic and service programs, Oakland University also provides
supportive individual and family programs. OUCARES, housed in the School
of Education and Human Services, encourages the exchange of ideas
relating to the education and support of individuals with Autism
Spectrum Disorder as well as provides services and support needed to
improve daily living.

The
goal of OUCARES is to promote understanding and awareness of Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through education, research and support and to
improve quality of life for people impacted by ASD.

We serve educators, caregivers and professionals who serve people with
ASD, such as dentists, law enforcement officials and hair stylists.
Likewise, we serve the community by providing information, awareness and
inclusion opportunities. Finally, we serve all members of families
impacted by ASD including the individual with ASD, parents, siblings,
grandparents and extended family members.
