Combining technologies to maximize outcomes: Online and telemedicine training program of parents of children with autism


This is a current project.


This project is developing a Research-to-Practice Outreach Training model to teach parents of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) how to implement research-based interventions with their children. The project is developing a system to disseminate strategies for parents on the latest intervention techniques. It also is providing education, training and on-going feedback on the use of those techniques. The target population is parents of children ages 18 months-5 years who have ASD.
