Language Disclaimer: While we recognize that there are many different ways of talking about autism (see Kenny et al., 2016), we have chosen to use primarily person-first language in this context as it is consistent with the language used within special education and in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004).

At the LevEl Up: Employment Skills Simulation Lab, we help bridge the equity gap in employment opportunities for underserved groups by harnessing technology for social good, ensuring healthy development for all youth, promoting smart decarceration, and eradicating social isolation.
