Dr. Landa directs the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) at Kennedy Krieger Institute, which offers a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to serving children with autism spectrum disorders and their families. The center combines educational, clinical, diagnostic, out-patient and outreach programs to create treatment that is tailored to the particular needs of individual children and their families.

Dr. Landa's research has focused on neuropsychological, learning and communication processes in autism across the lifespan.  She has pioneered research aimed at identifying the earliest signs of autism through the study of infant siblings of children with autism. She is a member of the executive committee for Autism Speaks' Baby Sibs Research Consortium and is a member of the Toddler Treatment Network.
