Rethink Autism (www.rethinkautism.com) offers an award-winning technology platform (web based collaboration tool) that assists public school districts in providing research-based services to students with autism and related disabilities in a cost-effective manner. This free presentation will demonstrate the online system for teachers that includes a comprehensive curriculum aligned with the Common Core Standards, ongoing staff development via modeled lessons on video (not lectures), individualized assessment tools, and behavior tracking and automated data tracking – all developed by leaders in the field of autism treatment and research.
In addition, Rethink Autism’s IEP Builder, which is integrated into the comprehensive web-based platform, will be demonstrated. The benefits of Rethink Autism’s IEP Builder are:
• Saves time generating IEP goals which are seamlessy aligned with Rethink Curriculum
• Individualizes a learning plan for each student, driven by the Rethink Assessment
• Automates reporting for IEP meetings and progress reviews
• Makes it easy to implement the IEP, with step-by-step videos and lesson plans showing how to
address each goal using research-based teaching strategies.
