Kyle is a 5th year doctoral student in the clinical psychology program at Michigan State University. Her research focus (and clinical expertise) involves children on the autism spectrum and their families. In particular, she is interested in understanding the active ingredients and mechanisms of change underlying parent-implemented early interventions for toddlers and young children with autism spectrum disorder. She was recently awarded a National Research Service Award (F31) from NICHD to complete her dissertation research and engage in a variety of professional development opportunities. When not in the lab, she can be found walking her dog, playing board games with friends, and kayaking.
