The Fondation de l’Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières has received $540K from the NEXCAP Fondation to support a research project focused on helping autistic youth access postsecondary education. The project—led by UQTR Professor Ève-Line Bussières—will foster new secondary education pathways in collaboration with schools and the create training materials for those involved in the pathway. Foundation Présidente-directrice générale Joëlle Gagné explained that autistic students often experience interrupted educational pathways, and added that this investment will also support the transformation of pathways to employment.
