ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Suzanne Curtin is associate professor with the University of Calgary's Faculty of Arts. Curtin studies infants who are at increased risk for an Autism Spectrum Disorder (because they have an older sibling with ASD) in order to discover early signs of ASD. Curtin studies the preferences for speech among infant siblings of children with ASD, and seeks to answer why diagnosis of ASD is not possible before 3 years of age, and what are the benefits of earlier diagnosis.

Adam McCrimmon is assistant professor with the University of Calgary's Werklund School of Education. His work seeks to provide targeted intervention that enhances the developmental outcome and resilience of children, adolescents, and young adults with ASD. McCrimmon explores the unique factors related to how many people with ASD are able to overcome developmental challenges they experience and which supports can better enable them to be more successful later in life.

David Nicholas is associate professor with the University of Calgary's Faculty of Social Work. His research looks at the challenges in transitioning to adulthood for youth with ASD, including employment and job retention. His research guides transition and vocation planning, and identifies program components including developmental and anticipated needs, goals, and activities that target desired outcomes.
