Harmonization of SDQ and ASEBA Phenotypes: Measurement Variance Across CohortsHarmonizing the scores obtained by different instruments that measure the same construct enable researchers to combine them in one analysis. An important step in harmonization is checking whether there is measurement invariance across populations.

Autism Early Intervention Providers: Their Priorities, Use of Empirically Supported Practices, and Professional Development NeedsAutism early intervention research has indicated a research-to-practice gap, including continued use of practices with inadequate research support, and insufficient use of empirically supported practices. The present study explored the processes and mechanisms through which providers working with young children on the autism spectrum learn, select, and implement the various practices in their clinical repertoires.
