Abstract:
We appreciate the thoughtful letter by Widiastuti and colleagues1 on our article2 examining the effectiveness of multilevel implementation strategies for autism interventions across public service systems. We are encouraged by their recognition of the critical role of leaders in supporting the adoption and fidelity of evidence-based interventions (EBIs), particularly in settings that face systemic and resource challenges. This response discusses potential extensions of leadership training to LMICs and the need for further study in the context of those settings.
