Everyday Teaching Autism Resources

We live in an era full of resources when it comes to educating children with different needs.

But…where do we look to find out which practices are based on research evidence? I, like many other teachers, don’t have time to go to the journals to find the practices that work.

In 2007, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) funded the National Professional Development Center on ASD (NPDC) to promote practitioners’ use of evidence-based practices. One of the first activities of the center was to conduct a comprehensive review of the focused intervention research literature. NPDC conducted an updated review in 2014. The review screened 29,000 articles on autism and identified 27 practices as evidence-based.
