How is the SCERTS Model consistent with recommended practices for educating children with autism spectrum disorders?
In 2001, Educating Children with Autism was published by the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academy of Sciences and is now regarded as the most authoritative source on recommended practices for preschool and young school-age children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The volume was written to determine effective practices in the education of children with ASD, by referring to the extant body of research available, and to make recommendations for future educational programming and research. It was researched and written by an expert committee of 12 professionals appointed by the NRC who represented a variety of disciplines and a range of philosophical orientations (e.g., applied behavior analysis, developmental orientations) to the education of students with ASD. This committee reviewed 20 years of educational and clinical research to draw conclusions and made recommendations regarding educational interventions for children with ASD from birth to eight years of age.
