SUMMARY:Self-Regulation Strategies for Self-Injurious Behavior (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Self-Regulation Strategies for Self-Injurious Behavior \nAbout the speaker: \nEmily Ferguson\, Ph.D.\, is a postdoctoral academic researcher and clinician within Stanford University’s Autism and Developmental Disorders Research Program within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She earned her doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of California Santa Barbara and completed her clinical internship at the University of California Los Angeles. Dr. Ferguson’s research focuses on advancing understanding of mechanisms of challenging behaviors in autistic youth and adults to inform treatment development. Her work takes a comprehensive perspective\, integrating methods from implementation science to improve the accessibility and quality of clinical care for underserved autistic populations\, especially those with higher support needs (or “profound autism”). She is also interested in developing methods to improve self-regulation in individuals with profound autism to effectively manage self-injurious behaviors and aggression. Dr. Ferguson is currently supporting research in the Preschool Autism Lab and exploring profiles of challenging behaviors with the Program for Psychometrics and Measurement-Based Care in a diverse range of autistic and non-autistic youth to inform treatment approaches. \nRegister here.
