Micah Haskins

Micah Haskins joined the Yang-Tan Institute on Employment and Disability in 2025 as a research specialist. He is currently working on three projects focused on improving employment and educational opportunities for individuals with disabilities. These projects explore: (1) barriers and facilitators in interview processes for autistic students pursuing STEM careers; (2) strategies to enhance services and supports for students with disabilities from early childhood through post-school transitions; and (3) accommodation processes that help employers recruit, hire, retain, and advance employees with disabilities.

Before joining the institute, Micah had moved to Ithaca to pursue a PhD in Communication at Cornell University, with a concentration in Groups, Organizations, and Networks. He now plans to work on his degree alongside his work at the institute.
