Kyle Sterrett, PhD | Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Dr. Kyle Sterrett is a licensed clinical psychologist with a specialization in the assessment and treatment of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), global developmental delays and those with intellectual disability. He completed his doctoral training at the University of California, Los Angeles and received a postdoctoral fellowship at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles.

He has worked extensively with children and families with neurodevelopmental disorders both clinically and in various research programs. He has years of experience providing direct intervention and parent training in evidence based naturalistic developmental, behavioral interventions (NDBI) to teach communication to language learning children. He also has expertise in the implementation of speech generating devices (SGD) within early interventions for children with language delays. Dr. Sterrett offers other psychosocial interventions such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, executive functioning training for individuals with ADHD across the lifespan, Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) for Young Adults and is trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). He also offers therapy and training for parents and caregivers of individuals with developmental disabilities.  

His program of research lies in understanding the mechanisms of treatment response for children with ASD enrolled in early interventions. He is also focused on developing novel measures to monitor social communication changes over time and improving the quality of methods we use in early intervention research.
