Program materials were developed by child and adolescent psychologists Drs. Nat Jungbluth, Erin Gonzalez, Kendra Read, Jennifer Blossom, Jessica Jenness and Maggie Sibley, with funding support from the Washington State Healthcare Authority.
Providers can learn more about FAST and access free assessment tools for initial screening, treatment planning and progress monitoring on the FAST website.
