Leading Implementation of Autism Interventions in Schools and Mental Health Clinics: Results from the Statewide TEAMS Trial

The “Translating Evidence-based Interventions for Autism: Multi-Level Implementation Strategy” (TEAMS) study looked at how training for leaders in mental health and school programs might help teachers and therapists learn to deliver evidence-based autism interventions. The study included 65 districts and programs, 197 teachers/students and 190 therapists/clients throughout California. We will share information about the type of training leaders received, how they supported providers in learning evidence-based practices and how leaders support affected provider use of the strategies and children’s behavioral outcomes.
