- Feeding disorder management
- Peer victimization prevention
Key initiatives include the Autism Program Quality Indicators (APQI) for educational standards, sleep intervention protocols, and positive behavioral support systems targeting inclusion and family resilience. CARD’s community-based model bridges research with real-world service delivery, addressing critical gaps in autism support infrastructure.
No scientific awards or student advising details are documented in the source material. Her operational scope centers on CARD’s community outreach, where she leads program development for regional autism services and specialized training for educators and caregivers.
