Kaytlin Ottofazi

Experienced with clinical supervision, ensuring high standards of patient care and staff performance. Utilizes effective communication and leadership skills to manage teams and resolve conflicts. Knowledge of compliance regulations and best practices in clinical settings.

I believe meaningful collaboration among researchers, clinicians, educators, families, and neurodivergent individuals is essential to advancing neurodevelopmental research. Rigorous science and compassionate, individualized care are complementary, not competing.

As a neurodivergent, neurodiversity-affirming clinician, I aim to conduct research grounded in lived experience and translate findings into practical tools, resources, and clinical practices that improve everyday lives.

My goal is to become a researcher, educator, and mentor who helps advance evidence-based, respectful, and responsive services for neurodivergent individuals.

• I am specifically focused on improving the accessibility, quality, and effectiveness of services for neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan, including:
• Neurodiversity-affirming behavioral healthcare
• Complex support needs and co-occurring conditions
• Interdisciplinary collaboration
• Ethical evolution of Applied Behavior Analysis
• Family-centered care models
• Healthcare accessibility
• Translational research and practical tool development
• Training models that support fidelity and neuro-affirming practice

• Interested in teaching and mentoring in areas such as:
• Foundations of Neurodiversity Studies
• Neurodiversity-Affirming Applied Behavior Analysis
• Functional Behavior Assessment and methods
• Caregiver Coaching and Collaborative Care
• Interdisciplinary Practice
