      Jan 2000 - now
      Medical Director and Founder

      Created The PLAY Project as a response to the lack of services for young children with autism in his community and across the country. The PLAY Project’s mission is to train a national network of pediatric professionals to deliver an evidence-based, low-cost, intensive, developmental intervention to families of young children with autism spectrum disorders. To that end, we have trained more than 500 pediatric professionals in nearly 30 states and 7 countries to become Certified PLAY Project Consultants. Show less
