IAN, the Interactive Autism Network, is an innovative online project designed to accelerate the pace of autism research by linking researchers and families. Anyone impacted by an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can become part of IAN's online community to stay informed about autism research, provide feedback, and make their voices heard.

Watch If I Could Do One Thing, the IAN Parents Video, to find out more.

In addition, families of children with an ASD can share information in a secure online setting and become part of the nation's largest online research effort. As a result, researchers will obtain valuable data, explain findings, and collaborate with families and one another. This dynamic exchange could lead to new discoveries about causes, diagnosis, treatments, and a possible cure for this puzzling group of disorders.

What is the IAN Community?

Families, researchers, and anyone impacted by ASDs can take part in the IAN Community - a comprehensive online library and meeting place focused solely on ASD research. Visitors can learn about the latest research, become more informed consumers of research, and join in a worldwide collaboration of people dedicated to finding answers.

What is IAN Research?

Parents of a child with an ASD can help by providing critical information only they possess: knowledge about their affected child's history, behaviors, and treatments. Without revealing a family's identity, this data will be shared with qualified researchers throughout the country. The goal is to gather the nation's largest collection of autism related data -- an accomplishment that could lead to new, important breakthroughs. In addition, the IAN Research will notify families about other local and national autism research projects for which they qualify.
