Dr. Cynthia Anderson, Senior Vice President of Applied Behavior Analysis at May Institute, is co-editor of a new handbook on parent-based interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The book explores the use of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for families of young children with ASD. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is an evidence-based and manualized intervention for children who exhibit disruptive behavior; there is emerging evidence supporting its use for children with ASD.
Dr. Anderson edited the first two sections of the handbook, which present the conceptual foundations of evidence-based approaches (Part 1) and contemporary evidence-based interventions (Part 2).

Kleinert; Serra Langone; Dr. Ryan Martin; Dr. Yannick Schenk; Dr. Alice Shillingsburg; Dr. Sarah Weddle; and Dr. Jennifer Zarcone) authored severalof the chapters in these two sections (see below – May Institute authors’ names are highlighted).
