About Us
For an inclusive future where all can thrive.
The Carolina Autism and Neurodevelopment (CAN) Research Center at USC connects cutting-edge
research with clinical support to improve the health and well-being of individuals
and families affected by neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, intellectual
disability, learning disorders and genetic syndromes.
CAN helps individuals thrive across the lifespan, from infants needing early diagnosis,
children who need educational interventions, and adults facing long-term neurological
health needs. By bringing together the best insights from science, education and medical
support, we can help all people live a fulfilling life and meet their potential
