Maria L. Hugh; LeAnne Johnson; Angel Fettig – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Exploring what practices early childhood special education (ECSE) teachers have been exposed to and use may highlight the need for improved dissemination and implementation supports. In this survey study, 312 U.S. ECSE teachers reported exposure (familiarity, training) and use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) and low-value practices (LVPs) for…

Fraser, Dawn W.; Marder, Tamara J.; deBettencourt, Laurie U.; Myers, Linda A.; Kalymon, Kristen M.; Harrell, Robert M. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Special educators are encouraged to implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) with fidelity to maximize student achievement. Two national organizations identified Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) as an EBP for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of didactic training alone…
