ABOUT DARI

The Dartmouth Autism Research Initiative (DARI) is a group of neuroscience and psychology researchers who are devoted to understanding neurodiversity and the neurobiology of autism. 

​

We lead programs in both basic research – understanding autism from a biological perspective – and translational research – developing tools that improve peoples’ lives. Our research studies include individuals of all ages, from infants to adults. 

​

Our center is located in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth and includes collaborations with the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and the Geisel School of Medicine.

Outside of research, we seek to build a strong community for autism research and awareness in the Upper Valley of NH and VT.
Autism Spectrum Diagnosis?
​
​

If you or your child have a diagnosis of Autism, PDD-NOS, or Asperger's Syndrome, please volunteer for our research to help us understand how people with autism see the world.

​

You will be invited to the Dartmouth campus to participate an assessment, an fMRI brain scan, take visual tests on a computer, and complete cognitive questionnaires.  You will receive compensation for your time, reimbursement for your travel, and a picture of your brain!  To learn more about how to volunteer, please click below:
