Bio
Jessica Suhrheinrich, Ph.D. is a Professor of Special Education at San Diego State University and an Investigator with the Child and Adolescent Services Research Center. Broadly, her research aims to improve community-based services for children with autism. Prior to attending graduate school in psychology, Dr. Suhrheinrich was also a classroom teacher. This experience shaped her interest in improving the quality of educational programming for children with autism and increasing teacher access to training in evidence-based interventions. Her current projects integrate implementation science and school-based services for students with autism. Dr. Suhrheinrich also coordinates research and evaluation activities for the California Autism Professional Training and Information Network (CAPTAIN).
