Our research study aims to identify an initial set of active ingredients or core strategies of evidence-based practices (EBPs) that support the expressive language of autistic preschoolers. In addition, we plan to create an initial set of dosage recommendations for these active ingredients to guide practitioners and support future efficacy evaluations. To achieve these aims, we will asynchronously and virtually convene a panel of early childhood ASD research and practice experts. The panel will complete a series of questionnaires to identify and define a set of core EBP components of expressive language interventions and dosage recommendations. Through these iterative questionnaires, we aim to have a consensus decision.
