Need for Professional Development Related to ASD Pushed by
• Increasing numbers of children with ASD
• Emerging base of evidence about effective practices
• Responsibility to provide a free and appropriate public education
![Page 8: A multi-university center to promote use of evidence- based practice for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders National Professional](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551adef9550346f70d8b456c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why use evidence-based practices?
• The use of EBP with learners with ASD is sound practice
• Because teachers are accountable

Evidence-Based Practices and Current Federal Initiatives
The NCLB act defines Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) as “the use of practices, interventions, and treatments
which have been proven, through data based research, to be effective in improving outcomes for individuals when the practice is implemented with
fidelity.” No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Public Law 107-110
In 2001 the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) emphasized the need for
scientifically-based research and the use of evidence-based practices in the field
of education.

Evidence-Based Practices and Current Federal Initiatives
IDEA aligns with NCLB in its use of terminology related to evidence-based practice, i.e., ”scientifically based research” (§ 300.35) and emphasizes its importance in sections on educational placements (§ 300.116) as well as personnel development (§ 300.207), and related funding.
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, Public Law 108-446

While the number of children identified with ASD increases,
so does what we know about effective educational practices.
However, many of these evidence-based practices have not yet reached school classrooms…
