Leveraging Autism Intervention for Families through Telehealth
(LIFT)
The Mission
LIFT focuses on the development and testing of an adaptation of the Joint Attention Symbolic Play Engagement and Regulation (JASPER) intervention that uses technology to help early interventionists and preschool special educators deliver the intervention to families of young children with ASD living in communities in Southern Oregon. The first year of the project (20-21) will focus on the development of the online materials as well as professional development for community interventionists. This will be followed by a randomized trial to test an adaptive intervention including online materials, tele-coaching, and home visiting.
This project is funded through the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER). Grant Number R324B200017 (PI: Shire)
