We were very excited to have Dr. Jill Locke here with us. Jill Locke is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Center for Mental Health Policy and Services Research and the Center for Autism Research. She completed her doctorate degree in Educational Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Jill received the 2011-2012 Autism Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship award to modify a proven-efficacious intervention designed to address socialization in children with ASD, so that it can be used by school personnel to facilitate engagement and play between children with ASD and their peers during unstructured recess periods.
