The field of dissemination and implementation (D & I) science has developed in response to identified gaps between evidence-based interventions (EBIs) developed and tested in controlled research settings and those delivered in routine, community-based care. Specifically, D & I science involves the study of methods to promote the uptake and sustainment of EBIs in community care. Individuals with ASD receive care in many community service systems over their lifespan including early intervention services, schools, mental health, ASD specialty/Applied Behavior Analysis, medical, transition and vocational services. Over the past decade, ASD researchers have applied D & I methodologies to identify gaps between research and community services, assess community needs for new or adapted interventions, and to develop and test evidence-based intervention in routine care. This chapter presents the application of D & I science approaches to improve community services for ASD across multiple service systems.
