"Increasing Access to Parent-Mediated Interventions for Autism in the Community: Project ImPACT as a Case Example"

Dr. Brooke Ingersoll, Associate Professor and Director of the MSU Autism Lab, Department of Psychology, Michigan State University

Parent-mediated intervention has a growing evidence base and is considered best practices in comprehensive care for autistic children. However, research suggests that it is under-utilized in community settings. Project ImPACT is a parent-mediated, naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI) that was developed with the explicit goal of facilitating the use of PMI by community providers. This talk will discuss the research supporting its development, as well as training and program adaptations that can support its use in a wider range of community settings, with the goal of increasing access to parent-mediated interventions for young autistic children and their families.
