Dr. Tiffany Neal has a rich background in clinical neuropsychology, school psychology, and applied behavior analysis with a concentration in complex or dual diagnoses and experience across inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, home, school and community-based service and treatment settings. In addition to service and training roles, she has been active in teaching and serving as an invited member or representative among local, state, and national associations; task forces; and committees focused on autism, dual diagnoses, policies and funding, diversity and equity, implementation science, and program evaluation.

Dr. Neal’s experience has significantly informed her approach toward and focus on mental and behavioral health care and training through integration of evidence-based practices and pragmatic measurement feedback systems with consideration of the applicable determinants of change (e.g., readiness, moderators, barriers) to improve outcomes for children, adolescents, and families within contexts (e.g., schools, justice system, healthcare settings) that routinely service and provide care to these populations. Among various roles Dr. Neal as the assistant director at the HANDS in Autism® Center lends oversight to the approach, curriculum, partnerships, research, and dissemination efforts for the center.
