Evidence-Based Practices for working with students with ASD

Imagine that the school/early childhood setting at which you have begun to teach is about to undertake a peer-led professional development series on evidence-based practice (EBP) when working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  Staff members have been asked to select one EBP (it must be from the five options listed above)  and present an informative paper to their peers.

As well as to provide information on the EBP, the goal will be to communicate to your colleagues the importance of using EBPs in educational practice, how your specific EBP works to support the development of students with ASD, and provide examples of individual strategies and approaches that could be employed in an educational context.

Your essay should follow a logical structure, including an introduction, a body, a conclusion, and a list of references. Given the word limit, it will be important that you are able to effectively synthesise the relevant information and ideas to provide informative information that a colleague could utilise to gain a greater understanding of EBPs in education.  It is required to use current literature to justify any instructional recommendations you will make.
