Technical assistance and professional development activities will be provided to personnel in our partnering states during a two year partnership.

Proposed Activities with States

---

To determine if your state might benefit from participation in the National Professional Development Center on ASD, consider the following:

Does your state need assistance in:

• increasing the number of highly qualified personnel serving individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD)?
• implementing evidence-based practices for children and youth with ASD?
• establishing model sites for the demonstration of evidence based practices at the preschool, elementary, and middle/high school levels?
• developing, implementing, and continuously monitoring a plan for linking pre- and in-service professional development to child, family, practitioner, and system levels outcomes?
• establishing a sustainable system of ongoing professional development and technical assistance for the provision of high quality services for individuals with ASD?
