As such, they may benefit from extra support across service providers; however, little knowledge on trauma exists among service providers that frequently work with autistic youth but do not directly address trauma-symptoms (e.g., Board Certified Behavior Analysts and speech-language pathologists). Fifteen experts from speech-language pathology, behavior analysis, and psychology participated in a two-round modified Delphi-closed study to gain consensus on trauma-informed practices that should be included in these guidelines. From these two survey rounds, consensus was gained for 93.6% of proposed items. Recommendations for future research include community-based participatory research to gain consensus on the generated guidelines from the autistic community in addition to the development of an educational curriculum for service providers on how to use the guidelines.en-USAll Rights Reserved.autism spectrum disorderautistic youthearly interventiontrauma-informed caretrauma-informed practiceElectronic Thesis or Dissertation
