Evidence-Based Practice and Autism in the Schools by Hanna C. Rue,Eileen G. Pollack Pdf
Given the challenges of providing appropriate services to a diverse and increasingly numerous student population in this country with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the need for evidence-based practice in our schools has never been so urgent. We must provide our educators with the tools and resources they need to give children and adolescents the greatest chance for success.To assist educators who work hard to provide appropriate services, the National Autism Center published the first edition of "Evidence-based Practice and Autism in the Schools" in 2010. Thousands of educators from every state and dozens of countries have accessed it online. In a national survey conducted the following year, responses demonstrated that the manual was making a significant impact on improving educators' knowledge about ASD and providing effective interventions for students on the spectrum.This newest edition of "Evidence-based Practice and Autism in the Schools" includes up-to-date information designed to assist front-line interventionists in selecting and implementing the most effective research-supported interventions for ASD. We offer this manual to help fulfill the National Autism Center's mission to disseminate these kinds of resources to communities across the country and throughout the world. Lasting change in the education of students with ASD requires evidence-based practice as its foundation.
