Research Focus

 

The neuropsychological phenotype of autism and executive function intervention for children on the autism spectrum. Dr. Kenworthy is author of a school-based executive function intervention for children on the autism spectrum, Unstuck and On Target, shown to be effective in a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) funded trial of the intervention in Fairfax County Public Schools.
