Transforming Research: Understanding Experiences in ASD, Stakeholders Working Together (TRUST) ⟩

The TRUST Project was informed by our prior and current ethnographic and phenomenological studies and sensory processing research programs. The primary objective of this project was to develop a sustainable capacity building alliance of stakeholders with expertise in sensory processing related to ASD to inform and impact research endeavors. The TRUST Project was grounded in the participation of four stakeholder groups including family members and caregivers, autistic self-advocates, clinicians and providers, and researchers, as well as three community partner groups, The Sensory Processing and Autism Network (SPAN), 5-Eleven Hoops, and Autism Speaks.
