About Bahareh

Dr. Bahareh Afsharnejad is a Lecturer in the Curtin School of Population Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, at Curtin University in Perth, Australia. She is affiliated with the Curtin Autism Research Group and serves as a neurodiversity advocate with extensive experience in autism research and neurodevelopmental disorders. Afsharnejad earned her PhD in 2019 from Curtin University's Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Occupational Therapy, Social Work and Speech Pathology. Her doctoral thesis, titled 'The Development and Evaluation of a Social Skills Group Training for Australian Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum,' employed a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of the KONTAKT® social skills group program. The study found that explicit social skills training outperformed an active control cooking group in improving social responsiveness, goal attainment, and overall social outcomes for autistic adolescents in a community setting. This work underscored the feasibility of methodologically rigorous research outside clinical environments.
