Vivian Lee

My research focuses on the emotional and mental health of children and youth with autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. My work includes the investigations of child-, parent-, and system-level characteristics, and the relationship between these factors, that either support healthy emotional development or exacerbates difficulties in the child and for the family. I am also interested in the impact of these factors on overall parent and family wellbeing. Additionally, I have an interest in implementation science and program evaluations, and working alongside community-based autism providers and advocacy groups, I am investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as participation in psychosocial interventions on the mental health and wellbeing of autistic youth and their caregivers.
