MSU Autism Lab

Studying early social communication intervention and expanding access to care

The MSU Autism Lab is a research lab in the Michigan State University Department of Psychology, directed by Dr. Brooke Ingersoll.

The MSU Autism Lab focuses on the development, dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based, community-viable interventions for autistic children and their families. A central goal of our work is understanding how to close persistent gaps in access to care — testing telehealth and community-based delivery models, and studying how interventions perform within real-world service systems such as Medicaid and Part C Early Intervention.

Research

Our lab studies parent-mediated, naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) for children with social communication delays, with current work focused on telehealth delivery and equitable access to care for underserved families.
