Evidence-Based Practices for ASD

Evidence-Based Practices (EBP)

Below you will find many many resources for training on evidence-based practices. There are several free sources of training modules available through the various resources listed here. The Behavior Intervention Team has also developed additional resources and provided a link to pasted training materials covering evidence-based practices.

"Many interventions exist for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Yet, scientific research has found only some of these interventions to be effective. The interventions that researchers have shown to be effective are called evidence-based practices (EBPs). One reason for using EBPs is because, by law, teaching practices must be based on evidence of effectiveness." (National Professional Development Center)
