In collaboration with Dr. Jeffrey Wood (UCLA) and and Dr. Amy Herschell, we conducted the MEYA project in which we developed a web-based quality control platform to support training and supervision of an efficacious program for youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The project's first year involved developing the web-based platform, and the second year involved testing the platform's impact on therapist behavior.
