  1. National Professional Development Center on ASD Lisa Sullivan MIND Institute, UC Davis

  2. National Professional Development Center on ASD • Where we began and where we are now • The future of the Center • Your work in Idaho and other states

  3. Goals of NPDC Promote effective use of evidence-based practices (EBP) to support optimal student and family outcomes Develop successful teams of implementers through sustainable technical assistance and professional development Translate research into practice

  4. Bridge the Gap Research-based practices Replicable practices in the classroom

  5. State Involvement to Date VT MN WI ID MI RI IN CA VA KY NM Cohort 1 Cohort 2 Cohort 3 Cohort 4 TX

  6. Systems Approach • State leadership involvement • Establish infrastructure and resources for change • Recruit teams • Local and state coaches • School sites & families • Start with targeted change • Support sustainability

  7. Implementation Science andSystems Change School Sites and School Districts Model Programs Regions State Wide Across Systems

  8. Promoting Real Change • Implementation Science Research • Change happens at different levels • Change takes time and requires organizational shifts and reflection • Sustainability must be built in to process National Implementation Research Network, Fixsen & Blase (2007)

  9. Summary of Activities • Introductory Online Course • Intensive Summer Training • Introduction to EBP, Measurement Tools and Protocol • Prioritize student goals • Monthly Coaching and Consultation • Team meetings • Data collection, assessment, feedback • Monitoring progress and modifying plans

  15. APERS Scores (M/H) 15

  16. Use of Evidence-Based Practices

  17. Description of Scaling Consists of a five point range of performances for students: -2 Much less than expected(present level) -1 Somewhat less than expected 0 Expected level of outcome (annual goal) +1 Somewhat more than expected +2 Much more than expected

  18. Individual Student Outcomes 18

  19. Family Program Satisfaction Effect Size .24 19
