Partnering with National Professional Development Center on
Autism Spectrum Disorders
FACTS:Autism is growing at a rate of 10 to 17% per yearCould reach 4,000,000 Americans within the
decadeCost to society for individual with autism across his
lifetime - $3.2 millionLost productivity and adult care – most expensiveEarly intervention works!Kentucky’s schools are feeling the rapid increaseKentucky has limited resources
Background2 years ago, Larry Taylor, KDE, and a few other
key players, saw a need to develop statewide capacity for meeting the needs of students with ASD.
Kentucky’s State Autism Team was formed.Kentucky Department of EducationKentucky Autism Training Center (U of L)Sp. Ed. Coop consultants who’s emphasis is autismHigher Eds that currently have autism programsParent representative
In the beginning……The mission of the State Autism Team
To investigate other states who have some type of system set up
Design a vision flow chart of how to connect all interested parties in Kentucky
Brain storm key players and how to make our districts self sufficient in serving students with autism
National Professional Development Center on ASD (OSEP)Who they are…..
A multi university center to promote use of evidence based practice for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders FPG Child Development Institute, UNC
Sam Odom, Deborah Hatton, Jim Bodfish Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin
Len Abbeduto and Linda Tuchman-Ginsberg M.I.N.D Institute, University of California
Sally Rogers, Sally Ozonoff, John Brown, Peter Mundy
Their mission……To provide resources, professional
development, and technical assistance that will increase the number of highly qualified personnel serving children and youth with ASD.0 – 22 yrs of ageEarly identification, intervention, family,Sustainable outcome based PD and technical
assistanceEvaluating/measuring child outcomes (Goal
driven)
And,Ultilize state resources to sustain
understanding of EBPEstablish model sites that show case
evidence based practicesIncrease the number of highly qualified
personnel serving children with ASD for the purpose of sustainable technical assistance and professional development.
Remember:Each component and product will be
duplicated at our Coop level beginning in year 2009 – 2010

How it looks for Kentucky…Preparation year: 2008-2009
Key planning groups formed: State Autism Team KY ACT Early Summit Interagency Strategic Planning Group (ISPG)
First Model Site Identified: Jefferson County Pre school, elementary, middle and high school programs
Participants for summer institutes identifiedYear two Expansion model sites identified
Big East Educational Coop, Fayette County, Western Coop
KDE has requested each coop identify 3 regional trainers for summer institute
First Year: 2009-2010Identify Regional trainersNPDS/KATC/COOP’s Complete APERS on Jefferson
