“One of the most important things that the Hussman Center for Adults with Autism provides
is a community of acceptance and belonging, where people with autism are treated as
equals,” said John Hussman. “The Center is just as important for Towson University
students who volunteer and participate there. Spending time with people with autism
changes perceptions and forges relationships. The students often learn more from people
with autism than they could have imagined.”
The Hussman Center for Adults with Autism provides cutting-edge programming, training and resources for adults on the autism
spectrum, Towson University students, professionals and others in the community. It
offers two primary types of programs:
1) Group programs for neuro-diverse individuals featuring inclusive Towson University
student involvement.
2) College Orientation & Life Activities (COLA) for Towson University students who
are on the autism spectrum. This program provides support in planning for success
as a college student.
The Hussman Center also promotes research about its innovative program model and shares
the model with other universities, professional groups, and community organizations.
