Thanks to a $21.9 million grant from the late Bernie Marcus and The Marcus Foundation, Marcus Autism Center will conduct the largest-ever study of children across the autism spectrum to identify new targets for better treatments for children and families affected by profound autism. Clinicians and researchers will conduct the study alongside ongoing clinical practice at Marcus Autism Center to identify factors that can lead to an improved treatment response. The study will include 7,500 children from infancy to early adolescence, to support learning and to help make symptoms less severe, ultimately promoting a better quality of life for children and families affected by profound autism.

Keeping kids safe in the car can be tough—especially for families of children on the autism spectrum who may struggle with sensory sensitivities, routine changes and even staying buckled. To support these families, the Complex Behavior Support team at Marcus Autism Center created a specialized Child Passenger Safety program, offering monthly clinics to provide families hands-on guidance to help overcome these barriers.

After a spike in referrals this past year and a growing waitlist, families were going to have to wait at least a year to receive support. Determined to tackle this issue, the Complex Behavior Support team organized a one-day clinic that completed 37 full assessments and cut wait times by five months—helping families travel more safely, confidently and comfortably. Although wait times will remain a challenge, the Complex Behavior Support team is dedicated to doing everything possible to make anything possible for kids on the autism spectrum.

Hugs all around. 👐

After a long journey with feeding challenges, Bennett and his family turned to our Marcus Autism Center, where he was evaluated for any medical issues that might affect his ability to eat. From there, he was referred to our Multidisciplinary Feeding Program, where he was diagnosed with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and began therapy.

With support from his care team, Bennett made tremendous progress. In just eight weeks, he added 15 new foods to his diet and now has the confidence to keep trying new things. Along the way, Bennett and his family also gained a second family—thanks to the special bonds he formed with his feeding specialists.

Located behind section 218, the lounge provides a calm and quiet environment so everyone can enjoy the game in a way that's best for them. ⚾
