SPARK

SPARK is a free online study with a simple mission: to speed up research and advance the understanding of autism. SPARK aims to be the largest study of its kind with the goal of building a community of 50,000 individuals with autism and their families across the nation. The entire autism community is encouraged to participate, including individuals with autism, their parents, and siblings.

SPARK is sponsored by the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI), a scientific initiative of the Simons Foundation. Visit SPARK to learn more about how to participate in the study.

Wilder Research used a Journey Mapping method to understand how parents of children with autism experience the service system. Mapping the Journey of Families Who Have Children with Autism through Social and Human Services, Medical and Education Systems summarizes their findings.
