The National Autism Center (NAC) recently released a comprehensive report on the most current evidence-based interventions for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To build a common knowledge and language around ASD and evidence-based interventions, we have created a video that provides foundational information on ASD as well as background and findings from the NAC report. As was discussed in the August Regional and Central Office meetings, the following staff members are required to watch the video:
• All certified staff
• PECs
The video and companion resources are available on the Intranet. To download these materials, go to the Employee Dashboard and log in. Then go to the Intranet and to the Professional Development Resources tab. Click on the Autism Resources link. In addition to the video, the PowerPoint and the full NAC report are available.
After you watch the video, you are required to take a survey, which will serve two purposes: (a) to keep a record of staff members who complete the video (which is the ONLY purpose of including names) and (b) to provide a needs assessment information for future training. The video and survey must be completed by Thursday, September 30.
For questions about this video, please contact Alecia Rahn-Blakeslee, Program Assistant, Innovation at arahn@aea11.k12.ia.us or ext. 14623. For questions about Heartland services for students with ASD, please contact Stacy Volmer, Program Assistant, Challenging Behavior & Autism/Challenging Behavior & Autism Consultant at svolmer@aea11.k12.ia.us or ext. 14494.
