The fellow at the May Center School will take a leadership role in the school’s CBT program for autism under the mentorship of Nathan Lambright Psy.D., BCBA-D and Stephanie Child Psy.D. This program has adapted traditional CBT methods to create an innovative delivery system for individuals with developmental delays. It combines individual therapy with classroom consultation to increase skill acquisition and skills usage outside of therapy sessions. The position will allow fellows to develop expertise in CBT for children with autism and provide oversight of a clinical program. As well, fellows will maintain an individual caseload and train classroom staff on the implementation and data collection of skill use. The fellow will prepare manuscripts for publication and conference presentations for submission. Prior training and commitment to evidence-based treatment and experience with populations with developmental delays is also required. For more information please contact Nathan Lambright at nlambright@mayinstitute.orgor Stephanie Child at schild@mayinstitute.org.
