Children with high-intensity needs, specifically children with autism spectrum disorder, may have several areas of need including speech and communication, behavior, academics, and nutrition. Service providers (e.g., BCBAs and School Psychologists) must understand the nature of young children’s abilities, experiences, languages, and cultures and how these influence children’s learning and development in general and these high-intensity needs in particular. Scholars will cross-train in ABA, school psychology, and early childhood subject matter with a goal to prepare scientist-practitioners who can identify early signs of ASD and provide culturally responsive and developmentally appropriate treatment. With combined training and expertise, the diverse group of scholars served by this grant will be able to identify autism symptomatology earlier, facilitate diagnosis, and start treatment earlier across settings.
ABA at UTSA is consistently recruiting families for research projects. All of the services we provide to families are completely voluntary and completely free.
