My clinical interests include the assessment and treatment of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related developmental disabilities. Treatment approaches include direct behaviorally-based interventions and facilitating caregiver-mediated interventions to address challenging behaviors, and promote social-interaction, social-communication, and play skills in young children with ASD. Additional interests include dissemination of clinical offerings via group-based and virtual formats to increase reach and access for children and families.
