Suzanne Nobrega; Kasper Edwards; Mazen El Ghaziri; Lauren Giacobbe; Serena Rice; Laura Punnett – American Journal of Evaluation, 2024
Program evaluations that lack experimental design often fail to produce evidence of impact because there is no available control group.

Kapp; Andrea Joyce; Anna Wallington; Academic Autism Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education (AASPIRE) Outcomes Project Team – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
People are increasingly recognizing the need for service interventions to improve the lives of autistic adults. However, less is known about how to best evaluate such services. We aimed to identify (1) which self-reported outcomes are most important to measure when evaluating the effectiveness of services for autistic adults and (2) what survey…
