ERP is delighted to announce that Dr. Karla Ausderau has joined the ERP Training Faculty. Dr. Ausderau is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Education.
Research Focus
My research program focuses on families and children with autism spectrum disorder. I study daily occupations, specifically eating and mealtimes, to elucidate the impact on the child’s health, family wellness, and overall daily participation. I also study sensory features in children with autism spectrum disorder, including their development, characterization, and impact on daily participation. I hope to have an impact on the daily life of families with children with autism by further understanding the behaviors that influence the child’s daily participation. Also, with better characterization of feeding and sensory behaviors, we will be able to develop more effective assessment tools, targeted treatment strategies, and improved outcomes for children and families.
Please join us in welcoming Karla to ERP!
