Edmunds, Sarah R.; Frost, Kyle M.; Sheldrick, R. Chris; Bravo, Alice; Straiton, Diondra; Pickard, Katherine; Grim, Valerie; Drahota, Amy; Kuhn, Jocelyn; Azad, Gazi; Pomales Ramos, Anamiguel; Ingersoll, Brooke; Wainer, Allison; Ibanez, Lisa V.; Stone, Wendy L.; Carter, Alice; Broder-Fingert, Sarabeth – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Defining the central components of an intervention is critical for balancing fidelity with flexible implementation in both research settings and community practice. Implementation scientists distinguish an intervention's essential components (thought to cause clinical change) and adaptable periphery (recommended, but not necessary). While…

Liza Tomczuk; Rebecca E. Stewart; Rinad S. Beidas; David S. Mandell; Melanie Pellecchia – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Clinicians' beliefs about an intervention's fit with an individual family influence whether they use it with that family. The factors that influence clinicians' decisions to implement evidence-based practices for young autistic children have yet to be evaluated systematically. These factors may partially account for the significant disparities in…

Frost, Kyle M.; Brian, Jessica; Gengoux, Grace W.; Hardan, Antonio; Rieth, Sarah R.; Stahmer, Aubyn; Ingersoll, Brooke – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorder share key elements. However, the extent of similarity and overlap in techniques among naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention models has not been quantified, and there is no standardized measure for assessing the implementation of their…

Jackson, Elizabeth M.; Hanline, Mary Frances – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Learning science is important for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as knowledge of science allows students to understand their natural world, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is increasingly emphasized in schools. Reading to learn science is, therefore, a vital skill in today's schools for all…

Pellecchia, Melanie; Beidas, Rinad S.; Mandell, David S.; Cannuscio, Carolyn C.; Dunst, Carl J.; Stahmer, Aubyn C. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Background: Parent-mediated early interventions (EI) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can result in significant improvements in children's cognitive ability, social functioning, behavior, and adaptive skills, as well as improvements in parental self-efficacy and treatment engagement. The common component to efficacious parent-…

Fleury, Veronica P.; Whalon, Kelly; Gilmore, Carolyn; Wang, Xiaoning; Marks, Richard – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: Reading involves the ability to decode and draw meaning from printed text. Reading skill profiles vary widely among learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One fairly common pattern is relative strength in decoding combined with weak comprehension skills--indicators of this profile emerge as early as the preschool years. In order…

Zeng, Weiwen; Magaña, Sandy; Lopez, Kristina; Xu, Yue; Marroquín, J. Marisol – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
This study examined maintenance of treatment effects in a culturally tailored parent education program for Latinx families of children with autism spectrum disorder using a behavior maintenance framework. In a two-site randomized waitlist-control study, we compared differences in parent and child outcomes across three timepoints using linear mixed…

Stephanie Y. Shire; Stacy Arbuckle; Wenjing Bao – Grantee Submission, 2022
Purpose: Technology-enabled adaptations of efficacious in-person early intervention programs for young children with autism spectrum disorder have the potential to conserve resources while increasing access to specialized educational services. Usability testing of online programs can support participant engagement by aligning program navigation…

Johnson, LeAnne D.; Fleury, Veronica; Ford, Andrea; Rudolph, Brenna; Young, Kelsey – Journal of Early Intervention, 2018
Increased numbers of young children identified with autism combine with changing paradigms for service delivery models to create a need to ensure that information is available to facilitate implementation of effective practices in children's natural learning environments. A recent synthesis that identifies evidence-based practices (EBPs) for…

Ruble, Lisa A.; McGrew, John H.; Toland, Michael; Dalrymple, Nancy; Adams, Medina; Snell-Rood, Claire – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The postsecondary outcomes of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are significantly worse than peers with other disabilities. One problem is the lack of empirically-supported transition planning interventions to guide services and help produce better outcomes. We applied an implementation science approach to adapt and modify an…

Bock, Stacey Jones; Borders, Christy M.; Probst, Kristi; Freeman-Green, Shaqwana – Advances in Special Education, 2019
In 2018, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the statistic that 1 out of every 59 children had a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Young children with ASD have unique needs specifically related to the characteristics that impact their communication and social emotional and behavioral development. These unique…
