As part of the Treatment and Research Institute for Autism Spectrum Disorders (TRIAD), Whitney Loring’s responsibilities include providing autism diagnostic services, both through the Department of Developmental Medicine and within the context of ongoing research studies within the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center. As part of TRIAD’s outreach team, she also develops and conducts trainings and consultation for parents, educators, and providers in the community regarding evidence-based assessment and treatment strategies for children with autism spectrum disorders. Through her involvement in TRIAD, she plans to continue to support research programs within the VKC that require the diagnostic services of a psychologist. Her future research interests include developing and evaluating intervention strategies that address behavioral pediatric concerns for children with autism spectrum disorders (e.g., sleep concerns, toileting difficulties, compliance with medical routines) and the effectiveness of various models of parent training and consultation.
