The UVM Autism Collaborative is a group of autistic and non-autistic family members, caregivers, researchers, clinicians and autistic adults working together to improve the quality of life for autistic people everywhere.
Dedicated to improving the lives of autistic people. |

The UVM Autism Collaborative believes that health care should be autistic-centered.
We believe that care should concentrate on the quality of life and community inclusion of autistic people and their caregivers. We wholeheartedly believe that our goals will be achieved through engagement and partnership with autistic people, along with interdisciplinary practice. "Interdisciplinary practice" translates to multiple health care providers from many different backgrounds working together to achieve the same goals.
Please note: We use identity-first language in place of person-first language in our documents and on this website because this is the preference of our team and Board members.
The UVM Autism Collaborative is a joint project of the UVM Center on Disability & Community Inclusion (CDCI), the UVM College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and the UVM Medical Center.
