The Center on Disabilities and Human Development at the University of Idaho and the Idaho State Department of Education are working together to provide school-based assistance and training in Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Autism Supports Objective
To improve educational services to children with Autism by building the capacity of school personnel and teams to assess, set goals, determine placement, and implement instructional strategies and supports across a variety of environments within the school.
What can Autism Supports Provide?
We offer Technical Assistance to schools providing services to students with Autism and other related disorders.
Technical Assistance involves:
- Initial review of existing services and supports
- Development of an action plan to align existing program with ‘best practices’ based upon initial assessment results
- In-service training and support to staff to carry out action plan
- Ongoing on-site visits
