Crae IOE
The Centre for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE) is a unique initiative that has at its heart the ambition to improve the lives of autistic people and their families. It is the first Centre in the country committed to understanding which factors, intervention programmes or classroom environments benefit autistic children's learning and real life outcomes of autistic adults through evidence-based research. You can check out videos about our research, public engagement events and more on our YouTube channel!
