Synopsis

This innovative book introduces a comprehensive system that allows educators to understand how to implement an instructional program for students with ASD. Known as CAPS, this model answers common questions about finding the right kind of supports to fit a child s learning style and help him reach his full potential. Used with the Ziggurat Model (see above), CAPS enables educators and other professionals to meet address adequate yearly progress (AYP), response to intervention (RTI), and positive behavior support (PBS) in a common-sense format.
