The Research
Psychometrics
Understanding the unique capabilities of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and learning how to match these capabilities to 21st-century workforce needs.
This endeavor focuses on developing tools and cognitive tests to: (1) capture the full range of abilities of autistic adults, and (2) understand and classify the cognitive demands of 21st-century workforce tasks.
Organizational Research and Innovations
Exploring organizational practices and managerial behaviors that help better utilizing the talents of autistic individuals and enhance organizational innovation
There is a growing body of evidence that organizations who incorporate the diverse perspectives of their workforce are more innovative. For diverse work environments to succeed, employers must create a supportive context that is psychologically safe; that is, where employees feel it is okay to express their opinions and take interpersonal risks.
