UCLA SPARK for Autism is coming to your community!

December 13, 2018

UCLA is one of 23 clinical sites partnered with the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) to bring you SPARK. The mission of SPARK--an online research partnership involving 50,000 individuals with autism and their families--is simple. We want to speed up research and advance understanding of autism. UCLA is also one of 4 clinical sites working on an additional project to reduce disparities and increase representation amongst underrepresented communities in the SPARK research study.

SAVE THE DATE and RSVP for one of our two upcoming SPARKforAutism Live-Registration in January 2019!

Join the UCLA Child and Adult Neurodevelopmental Clinic- CAN Clinic, UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment and Fiesta Educativa Inc. on SATURDAY, JANUARY 12TH OR 19TH!
We will have free parking, food, and giveaways. Come out, join the fun, and enroll in the SPARKforAutism study. Staff will help guide families through the online registration process and assist with saliva collection. Families who complete the study will receive up to a $50 Amazon e-gift card. Participate in the largest autism research initiative in the hopes of understanding the genetic causes of ASD.
