UA Launches College Transition Program for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders

By Chris Bryant

Dr. Laura Klinger well remembers the first time she met an adorable preschool child with Asperger’s syndrome soon after joining UA in 1993 as a clinical psychologist.

This child, said Klinger, was one of the first she evaluated in her role as the founder and director of a UA research clinic specializing in autism and related disorders. Since Klinger’s arrival at the University some 15 years ago, the number of diagnosed cases of Autism Spectrum Disorders (which includes autism, Asperger’s syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder) worldwide has exploded, the disorders have received widespread media attention, and Klinger has evaluated and provided therapy services to hundreds of children.
