AASPIRE Healthcare Toolkit

The purpose of this project is to develop and try out an interactive healthcare toolkit. The toolkit is meant to help improve healthcare access and quality for adults on the autistic spectrum. The project consists of three research studies. Results from the first two studies will be used to develop the toolkit. In the third study, we will try out the toolkit to see how it works in the real world.
