Autism and Developmental Disabilities Lab

The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Lab (ADD Lab) was established by Dr. Pat Mirenda in 2000. The ADD Lab is engaged in a wide variety of research topics related to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), problem behavior, early intervention, and literacy for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. The members of the lab work on both collaborative and individual projects, many of which are funded by external grants or contracts. The ADD Lab offers many opportunities for students to explore their own research interests, to take part in a range of different projects, and to develop their abilities as researchers.
