ASD, uses rigorous criteria to determine whether a practice is evidence-based. Currently, the Center has identified 27 evidence-based practices. Please note that every identified practice is not necessarily appropriate for every learner. Practices are most effective when carefully matched to a specific needs and learner’s characteristics. To date, the NPDC on ASD has identified 27 practices that meet the above criteria for evidence-based practices for children and youth with autism spectrum disorders. They continue to review the literature for practices that meet their definition. This list was updated by the NPDC in 2014 from 24 evidence-based practices to 27. The practices are Antecedent-Based Interventions (ABI) Pivotal Response Training Cognitive Behavioral Intervention Prompting Differential Reinforcement Reinforcement Discrete Trial Training Response Interruption/Redirection Exercise Scripting Extinction Self-Management Functional Behavior Assessment Social Narratives Functional Communication Training Speech Generating Devices/VOCA Modeling Structured Play Group Naturalistic Intervention Task Analysis Parent-Implemented Interventions Technology-aided Instruction Peer-Mediated Instruction and Time Delay Intervention Video Modeling Picture Exchange Communication System Visual Supports (PECS)
