The interfaculty research center ACTE (Autism in Context: Theory and Experience), based at the Université libre de Bruxelles, fully dedicated to the study of autism. Since 2015, this lab objective is to help understand the communication difficulties and the frequent language development delays that characterize autism.  

We combine methods from cognitive psychology and linguistics within a research program that seeks to mirror as closely as lived experience of our participants. At the heart of our project, we place particular emphasis on the diversity of autistic profiles. By adopting a longitudinal approach, we also analyze the individual development of children to better understand their development and specific trajectories.
