Interactive Autism Network Opens Its Doors to Adults with Autism
NPR's Morning Edition features IAN Project
What is IAN?
The Interactive Autism Network ianproject.org (IAN) is an innovative online project that has brought together tens of thousands of people affected by ASD and hundreds of researchers from around the world in a search for answers about autism spectrum disorders.
IAN Research — Individuals with ASD of all ages and their families contribute the vital information only they possess: knowledge about their diagnoses, treatments, services, and life challenges. This dynamic exchange has enabled researchers to access this invaluable data and gain new insights while also matching interested participants with local and national research projects for which they qualify. These efforts have already advanced over 150 research studies from respected organizations including the National Institutes of Health, Harvard University, Stanford University, and Yale University.
In addition, the data collected by IAN has empowered community leaders to advocate for improved services and resources and has helped shape public policy.
