Dr. Gilbert is focused on the early identification of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, and emphasizes the importance of early intervention with this population. Working with the family as a system is of special importance to Dr. Gilbert as she strives to provide a wide variety of support for families. Dr. Gilbert has over 13 years of experience working with children who have pervasive developmental disorders, such as ASD, in early intervention and diagnostics, in research exploring various behavior and language interventions, in Applied Behavior Analysis, and in the area of prelinguistic interventions. Early and accurate diagnosis provide the most efficacious treatment for this population, and Dr. Gilbert advocates the importance of implementing empirically validated interventions utilizing the most current measures (such as the premier objective measure, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, ADOS) and methods (such as Applied Behavior Analysis, ABA) for unpackaging the enigma of Autism Spectrum Disorders.
