Speech-language pathology students require comprehensive graduate education to address the needs of their future autistic clients. Despite this need, survey research suggests that students receive limited didactic and clinical graduate training that sufficiently prepares them to work with autistic clients. Contemporary research into clinical…

Evidence-based early interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been shown to improve child outcomes and quality of life (Lord et al., 2018; Reichow et al., 2018; Smith & Iadarola, 2015). However, response to intervention is variable across both children and implementation contexts. Understanding factors that influence this…
