Evidence of Scholarship and Research 

To explore detailed information about Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) in special education, you can view the Final Project for EDUA 5325. This project provides an in-depth analysis of various EBPs that are effective in supporting students with Autism. It covers topics such as instructional strategies, intervention programs, and assessment tools that have been validated through research to enhance learning outcomes for students in special education settings. By clicking the link to the project, you can gain insights into how these practices are implemented and their impact on student success.  

"Effective Methods for Managing Behavior in Children with Autism: A Collaborative Evidence-Based Practice Paper",  explores evidence-based practices in special education, focusing on behavior management for children with autism. It highlights the complexity of addressing behavioral challenges due to the unique needs of each child, emphasizing the necessity of personalized approaches. 

Key strategies discussed include:

1. Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging desirable behaviors by rewarding them, which increases the likelihood of these behaviors being repeated.

2. Visual Aids: Using images and videos to help children better understand rules and expectations, making them more concrete and easier to grasp.

3. Structured Routines: Providing predictability and stability, which are crucial for reducing anxiety and promoting emotional well-being.

4. Clear Expectations and Consistent Consequences: Establishing a framework that helps children understand what is expected of them and the consequences of their actions.

The project underscores the importance of patience, understanding, and the application of these techniques to effectively support children with autism.
