Person
Laura J. Hall began her work as an educator working for the Princeton Child Development Institute shortly after graduation.

She is a co-author of book chapters in several handbooks with a focus on evidence-based practices and ASD, including the recent Handbook of Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorders: Assessment, Intervention and Policy, 4th Edition. As Department Chair, for Special Education at San Diego State University, she works in collaboration with colleagues in the college, colleagues in the community, including parents of students with ASD, and, most importantly, new colleagues or graduates of the MA. Degree program with a specialization in autism that she worked to establish at SDSU. Follow up studies reveal that the graduates of this program remain in the field and sustain their use of evidence-based practices.
