Project Description:
The goal of this project is to build capacity within the Alabama Early Intervention System (AEIS) to screen, identify, and engage in evidence-based interventions with young child at-risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In collaboration with the UA project team and AEIS, Dr. O'Kelley will assist with program design, implementation, and measurement of outcomes. Dr. O'Kelley's primary role as Co-PI will be oversight of the implementation of a screening protocol across the AEIS sites, including providing relevant training, ongoing technical assistance, and data collection and management specific to the screening initiative. Dr. O'Kelley will also collaborate with the UA project team in data analysis and manuscript preparation related to the overall project, including the screening initiative.
