Projects
- Building Interactive Social Communication (BISC)This intervention approach, Building Interactive Social Communication, has three main emphases: (1) promotion of social communication through developmental stages at the preverbal level, (2) situation of learning in the parent-child relationship, and (3) use of a mediated learning process to promote both parent and toddler learning.
- Supporting Early Interventionists of Toddlers with Autism to Build Family Capacity (SEITA)A framework utilized to help early interventionists in promoting parent mediation of social communication in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is the fastest growing developmental disability, and the ability to detect signs of ASD at earlier ages will allow more children to receive critical services needed for their development.
- Joint Attention Mediated Learning for Toddlers with Autism (JAML)An intervention practice for toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that directly targets foundational preverbal social communication competencies from within the parent-child relationship at a critical juncture (by 30 months of age).
