"Professional development keeps teachers abreast of current issues in education, helps them implement innovations, and refines their practice."
Kemp and Hall, 1992
Why the Need for an Autism Teacher Capabilities Website?
We can name 2 reasons...
Constrained resources
Districts nationwide share one thing in common: a school budget crunch which is forcing them to make cuts in previously protected programs, like professional development.
Increasing Autism numbers
As the number of autism diagnoses surges, special education administrators are faced with real challenges of how to do more with less.

Choosing the most cost-effective professional development program is key to producing the most effective teachers of students with autism. |
