Evidence-based Practices for Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Guidelines and Recommendations from the National Resource Council and National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders

Abstract

The National Research Council has identified goals, areas of need, and basic recommendations for educational programs serving children with autism spectrum disorders. The National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders has identified evidence-based practices for early childhood and elementary programming. Highlighting the work produced by these two organizations, this article provides professionals with guidance in setting up educational programs that use effective, research-based interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorders in early childhood special education.
