Amber Angell | DREAmS Lab
About Amber Angell and the DREAmS Lab
The Disparity Reduction and Equity in Autism Services (DREAmS) Lab is led by Amber Angell PhD, OTR/L. Our mission is to identify, measure, understand, and reduce disparities in autism diagnosis and services. We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, students, and volunteers, and we use a range of health services and clinical informatics research methods, and a participatory, community-engaged approach. Current projects focus on: 1) the autism ‘diagnostic odyssey’ for girls, 2) mental health services for autistic children and youth, and 3) gastrointestinal (GI) problems that co-occur with autism across the lifespan.
