Sustainable Change through Professional Development

The Indiana Resource Center for Autism has published an article discussing the benefits of professional development for educators working with students on the spectrum.

"The numerous evidence-based strategies that have been developed and identified [for working with students with ASD] are irrelevant if educators do not know how to implement these strategies in their classroom or are not doing so in an appropriate way. Therefore, an essential piece of translating research to practice is the training and coaching of teachers in these particular strategies."
