K-CART aims to generate new scientific discoveries about ASD, disseminate research-based practices by training professionals, practitioners and families who serve children and adults with autism, and provide clinical services through its alliance with the Center for Child Health and Development (CCHD) at KU Medical Center. The CCHD diagnoses and develops treatment recommendations for children with developmental disabilities.
