The Autism Care Network is the first of its kind Learning Health Network for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Made up of 20 academic institutions and children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada, the Network connects families, researchers and healthcare teams to continuously improve person- and family-centered autism care. By advancing research developments and clinical knowledge about ASD, the Network enables more personalized care and better quality of life for autistic people and their families.
