摘要
The goal of this collaboration between a university and two community mental health (CMH) centers was to increase capacity among staff serving children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in usual care social skills groups. University researchers observed two usual care social skills groups in two sites; identified needs and strengths; delivered tailored trainings on behavioral management principles; and provided follow-up coaching. After training and coaching, CMH staff demonstrated significant gains in self-reported and observed behavioral management skills. Foundational education in behavior management may benefit successful implementation of ASD-specific evidence based practices in community settings.
