Evidence Based Practices for Persons with Autism

The interventions that researchers have shown to be effective are called evidence-based practices (EBPs). One reason for using EBPs is because, by law, teaching practices must be based on evidence of effectiveness. An evidence-based practice is an instructional/intervention procedure or set of procedures for which researchers have provided an acceptable level of research that shows the practice produces positive outcomes for children, youth, and/or adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder has 27 evidenced based practices that can provides guidance and support for many, including parents and professionals.
