- Resources like guides, manuals, and data sheets offer ideas for curriculum activity embedding and monitoring tools, as well as comprehensive guidance on implementing applied behavior analysis strategies.
- Goal Attainment Scaling is a personalized, measurable goal-setting approach used in research and education to measure intervention impact on individualized goals, employing a uniform 5-point scale for progress tracking based on specific dimensions.
- Program evaluation involves assessing outcomes to determine if a program effectively meets its stated objectives, with effective programs characterized by positive behavior support plans, efficient instructional time management, data-driven accountability systems, regular student feedback, high expectations, and positive, supportive interactions with students.
- The Autism Environmental Rating Scale (APERS) assesses program components for implementing evidence-based practices across preschool-elementary and middle-high school settings, identifying strengths and areas for improvement in ASD programs.
