D'Agostino, Sophia R.; DueƱas, Ana D.; Bravo, Alice; Tyson, Kelsie; Straiton, Diondra; Salvatore, Giovanna L.; Pacia, Cressida; Pellecchia, Melanie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs) have a strong and growing evidence base. Yet, NDBIs are not implemented on a wide scale within early intervention programs for children on the autism spectrum. Potential reasons for the slow adoption of NDBIs likely stem from the differing theoretical orientations of behavioral and…

Defining the central components of an intervention is critical for balancing fidelity with flexible implementation in both research settings and community practice. Implementation scientists distinguish an intervention's essential components (thought to cause clinical change) and adaptable periphery (recommended, but not necessary). While…

Pickard, Katherine; Hendrix, Nicole; Guerra, Karen; Brane, Natalie; Islam, Nailah – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
There is growing research aimed at translating parent-mediated interventions into Part C Early Intervention systems to examine the effectiveness and reach of these models. Although research to date suggests that Early Intervention providers deliver parent-mediated intervention near fidelity, current fidelity reporting practices make delivery…

Lind, Teresa; Lau, Anna S.; Gomez, Christopher; Rodriguez, Adriana; Guan, Karen; Chlebowski, Colby; Zhang, Aimee; Chorpita, Bruce; Brookman-Frazee, Lauren – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Mental health clinicians often report significant challenges when delivering evidence-based interventions in community settings, particularly when unexpected client stressors (or emergent life events) interfere with the therapy process. The current study sought to extend the study of emergent life events to children with autism spectrum disorder…

Stadnick, Nicole A.; Meza, Rosemary D.; Suhrheinrich, Jessica; Aarons, Gregory A.; Brookman-Frazee, Lauren; Lyon, Aaron R.; Mandell, David S.; Locke, Jill – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the education system is a public health priority. Leadership is a critical driver of EBP implementation but little is known about the types of leadership behaviors exhibited by school leaders and how this influences the context of EBP implementation, particularly…

Verschuur, Rianne; Huskens, Bibi; Korzilius, Hubert; Bakker, Leonhard; Snijder, Michelle; Didden, Robert – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
In this study, we investigated the relationship between fidelity of pivotal response treatment implementation and therapist characteristics, such as therapist personality, therapist-child relationship, therapist attitude toward evidence-based practices, and therapist experience. We also explored whether child age and autism symptom severity were…

Locke, Jill; Kang-Yi, Christina; Frederick, Lindsay; Mandell, David S. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Several interventions have demonstrated efficacy in improving social outcomes for children with autism, but they often are not used in schools. This study examined individual and organizational factors associated with the use of a research-informed social engagement intervention, Remaking Recess, for children with autism in elementary schools.

Locke, Jill; Wolk, Courtney Benjamin; Harker, Colleen; Olsen, Anne; Shingledecker, Travis; Barg, Frances; Mandell, David; Beidas, Rinad – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
Few evidence-based practices, defined as the use of empirically supported research and clinical expertise for children with autism, have been successfully implemented and sustained in schools. This study examined the perspectives of school personnel (n = 39) on implementing a social engagement intervention for children with autism. Semi-structured…

Williams, Nathaniel J.; Frederick, Lindsay; Ching, Alix; Mandell, David; Kang-Yi, Christina; Locke, Jill – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Schools play a major role in delivering behavioral health services to autistic youth. School culture and climate are strong predictors of the extent to which these services incorporate evidence-based practices; however, little is known about how school leaders shape culture and climate. Drawing on the concept of culture and climate embedding…
