24 Evidence Based Practices from the National Professional Development Center on ASD

The National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders is a multi-university center (including Wisconsin) to promote the use of evidence-based practice for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders. This site includes fidelity checklists and step by step instructions on how to implement evidence based practices for students with autism.

Evidence Based Practices (EBP) http://autismpdc.fpg.unc.edu/content/briefs

Evidence-based practice (EBP) briefs have been developed for all 24 identified evidence-based practices. An evidence-based practice brief consists of the following core components:

Overview:
    A general description of the practice and how it can be used with learners with autism spectrum disorders.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Implementation:
    Explicit step-by-step directions detailing exactly how to implement a practice, based on the research articles identified in the evidence base.

Implementation Checklist:
    The implementation checklist offers a way to document the degree to which practitioners are following the step-by-step directions for implementation, which are based on the research articles identified in the evidence base.
