Supplemental information
This postdoctoral program provided six postdoctoral fellows with field experience and methodological training in the design and evaluation of interventions for children and adolescents with serious behavior disorders and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The program was housed at the Juniper Gardens Children's Project and the Kansas Center for Autism Research and Training. Research experiences were designed to build fellows' capacity to conduct quality special education intervention research, apply experimental design methodology (including randomized controlled trials and single-case experimental designs), and use assessment tools to design learning and behavioral interventions. Research opportunities for fellows included (a) an evaluation of a classroom-wide intervention for students with and at risk for serious behavior disorders, (b) an evaluation of a comprehensive intervention for young children with ASD, (c) an evaluation of an intervention package for secondary students with serious behavior disorders, and (d) the development of a professional development program to improve instructional and classroom management practices.
