Persons
Amanda C. Gulsrud, PhD, is Associate Clinical Professor in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Clinical Director of the multidisciplinary UCLA Child and Adult Neurodevelopmental Clinic. Dr. Gulsrud is a clinical psychologist who specializes in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the development of behavioral interventions across the lifespan. Her research focuses on the early identification and treatment of infants and toddlers with ASD and related neurodevelopmental disorders, using the JASPER intervention. She has played an integral role in the development and adaptation of JASPER for infants and toddlers, has worked closely with the team testing JASPER's effectiveness across a variety of settings, and is a collaborator on several current research trials using JASPER.
Stephanie Y. Shire, PhD, is Assistant Professor in Early Intervention and Early Childhood Special Education in the College of Education at the University of Oregon. Her research interests focus on the development, adaptation, and real-world effectiveness of intervention programs for children with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders, examined through community partnerships in both low- and high-resource settings. She is interested in the use of effectiveness-implementation hybrid designs to examine community practitioners' adoption of intervention strategies as well as children's development. Dr. Shire has played an integral role in the development and dissemination of the JASPER intervention. She has worked on studies focusing on classroom adaptation and deployment, JASPER for children who have minimal verbal language, and community implementation and training, including remote training strategies. She conducts JASPER training nationally and internationally.
Christina Strawbridge is Research Associate in the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles. Ms. Strawbridge joined the Kasari Lab in 2012, and spends most of her time writing about JASPER, in the form of training materials, clinicians' manuals, and websites. She played a key role in translating the in-person training program into systemized written instruction and headed up the writing and development of The JASPER Model for Children with Autism.
