Background: To understand and apply the results of multisite impact studies, it is necessary to know the extent to which the components of an intervention were implemented as they were designed in each context (e.g., Carroll et al., 2007; Hill, Corey, & Jacob, 2018). Rigorous and cost-effective measures of implementation fidelity can help…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by early and pervasive deficits in social orienting and social engagement.
