  4. Goals of the NPDC Promote optimal learning for preschoolers, elementary and secondary students with ASD and support for their families through use of evidence-based practices (EBP) Increase state capacity to implement EBPs in early identification, intervention, and education Increase the number of highly qualified personnel serving children with ASD through sustainable technical assistance and professional development

  5. NPDC and State Involvement 5 year project: total number of states: 12 Work with each state for 2 years Year 1 : master content and process, working with NPDC staff Year 2 : begin training additional state personnel with NPDC staff support Years 3+ : state continues activities Cohort 1 Cohort 2 Cohort 3

  6. Who Is Involved? State Interagency Planning Group NPDC team School Site Teams Training teams for school sites Families Children Admin School com

  7. What Does NPDC Provide? Professional Development Technical Assistance Evaluation EPB Content Development

  8. Content Development Goal: to translate information about evidence-based practices from research into practical resources for service providers

  9. Define criteria for “evidence” Identify evidence-based practices in lit Define how to do them Content Development

  10. Web-based Module Contents • Pre-Test/Post-Test • Contextual Information • Step by Step Instructions • Case Examples • Video Examples • Implementation Check List • Evidence-Base • Resources

  11. Collaboration with OCALI and NATTAP for Module Development AIM

  12. Content Development Products • Project Website • Assessment Instruments • Autism Program Environment Rating Scale (APERS) • Autism Evidence-Based Practices Self Inventory • Fidelity Implementation Checklists (BRIEFS) • Web-based Modules: How to do each EBP • Online Course Autism 101

  13. What Does NPDC Provide? Professional Development Technical Assistance Evaluation EPB Content Development

  14. Professional Development Goals: Provide training to state professional development providers Provide training activities to practitioners in participating states Support school sites that model evidence-based practices

  15. Professional Development • To those on the model site teams, local training teams, and state training team: • Online introductory course on ASD • All materials: APERS, GAS, EBP training modules, BRIEFS • Intensive Summer Training • TA support for model sites and local training teams • 2 years of training, technical assistance

  16. Professional Development Intensive Summer Institute 1. Increase knowledge of EBP 2. Identify elements of high quality programs 3. Build networking, collaboration and skills of members of state autism training team 4. Develop plans for model sites and for dissemination across state

  17. National Professional Development Center on ASD Professional Development Technical Assistance Evaluation Content Development

  18. NPDC Collaborationwith State Partners Goals: Develop outreach program Provide ongoing site-based training Establish a network of professional development sites, trainees, and national consultants

  19. NPDC Collaborationwith State Partners • Begins with Support for Strategic Planning Activities • State Interagency Planning Group stakeholders • NPDC Staff • Liaison person • Provides Support to Local Training Teams • Provides Year 1 Training • Provides consultation and TA during Year 1 -2 • Supports the team during Year 2 Training • Team takes over training Year 3 and after • Provides Support to Model Site personnel • Provides Year 1 Training • Provides consultation/TA during Years 1-2 • Supports them with Year 2 Training • Team takes over Year 3 and after

  20. What Does NPDC Provide? Professional Development Technical Assistance Evaluation EPB Content Development

  21. Evaluation: Goals:Assist trainees in establishing a system for implementing EBP Collect follow-up data on use of evidence-based practices, practitioner skills, and child and family outcomes

  22. Evaluation • Content • Professional Development • Technical Assistance • Outcomes • Child • Family • Practitioner • Systems

  23. Evidence Based Practices • What does it mean? • It’s been tested and found to be effective • Why does it matter? • It’s the law • It may be the most effective way to teach • Better chance of success

  24. NPDC Definition of EBP • The teaching practice has been tested and found to be effective in: (1)Two randomized or other well-controlled (quasi-experimental design) studies. AND/ OR (2) Five single-subject design studies conducted by at least three different researchers

  25. Relationship between EBP and State Standards • Standard defines content – skills to be learned • EBP defines teaching practice – the teaching procedures used to teach the skill • EBP is not about curriculum ! Content From standards EBP Learning! + =

  26. Choosing an EPB to teach a skill involves: The skills being taught Your professional wisdom The learner’s learning style The learner’s temperament The learner’s interests and motivators Supports already in place History of what has and hasn’t worked

  27. NPDC Tools to Help with EPB Implementation APERS: EBPs in place in the classroom EBP Inventory: Your own learning goals Briefs and Modules: EBPs for individual learning objectives

  28. Teaching Flowchart ID IEP goal and standard Break down into teachable steps ID the EBP Review the Brief & Module Design the data system Develop the teaching plan; inform and train others Gather baseline data Implement plan & data collection system; review often

  29. IAPG, NPDC and State Partners will develop: • 6 dispersed demo sites • Local training teams to support sites • Statewide survey to identify EBP needs • Merged NPDC training info and State content (standards, best practices) • Unified state TA network and content

  30. Outcomes • NPDC materials will contribute to systematic approach for state • NPDC process will help increase number of well trained para and professionals • NPDC + IAPG will increase amount, quality and consistency of training in the state
