| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
During the period of funding, one single-case experimental research study was conducted and the manuscript is under peer review. The PI presented the study results at three different international conferences. In addition to conducting the experimental study, the PI developed a parent manual that provides guidance on the disability and evidence-based practices for ASD. This manual is designed for parents and families of children with ASD in Japan and translated into four different languages including Japanese, Chinese, English, and Spanish. The parent manual is uploaded to the university homepage and can be downloaded for free.
