Research Summary
The majority of my research focuses on disseminating best practice autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessment and treatment approaches to low-income countries and underrepresented groups in the US. I am interested in identifying mechanisms that contribute to ASD service disparities. To this end, I am engaged in a range of projects assessing:
- Global discrepancies in ASD knowledge and stigma
- Sociocultural variability in ASD symptom presentation, such as attentional allocation patterns
- Barriers to accessing early intervention and early childhood special education
