Over the years, we have been actively engaged in collaborative research with universities around the world while supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Education, Autism Speaks, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and others. Based on outcomes of these research efforts, the IPG model has gained recognition as among established evidence-based (peer mediated) interventions for children on the autism spectrum as documented in the National Standards Project Report (National Autism Center, 2009) and other peer-reviewed publications (e.g., Darling-Hammond & Bransford, 2005; Disalvo & Oswald, 2002; Iovannone, Dunlap, Huber & Kincaid, 2003). The following provides an overview of our research to date.
