UCSB Koegel Autism Center

CALIFORNIA STATE COUNCIL ON DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES PDF CYCLE XXI

 

The purpose of this project is to provide a model for increasing the quality and intensity of in-home intervention programs for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This project expands on our current in-home parent education service delivery model towards providing intensive social interventions for children with ASD in community settings. Due to a lack of trained personnel, many children with disabilities are unable to participate in community activities. Highly qualified paraprofessionals (university students) will be recruited, trained, and supervised, and will receive university course credit to support children with ASD in after-school extracurricular activities and at summer camp (instead of using untrained individuals who often serve in this role). These students will be supervised and trained in intervention procedures relevant to the individual child with whom they work, and will provide additional assistance with current intervention programs.
