Autism Camp Transforms Lives | Buffalo News

Autism research just got a major boost as The Institute for Autism Research relocates to the University at Buffalo, thanks to a $450,000 grant and strong institutional support. Their flagship program, summerMAX, turns summer camp into a powerful social skills lab—where kids learn and practice real-world skills like reading emotions, understanding jokes, and building friendships through games and field trips. Studies prove the gains last, with kids maintaining improvements for years. Now at UB, the institute is expanding training opportunities and launching MAX Out, an after-school version, to reach even more families and help autistic kids thrive through meaningful connections.
