A Comparison of General and Special Education Teachers' Attitudes toward Evidence-Based Practices for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Psychology in the Schools, v61 n7 p2880-2892 2024
Students identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) benefit from the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in all educational settings, including general education classrooms. Research indicates that EBPs are not consistently implemented across educational placements, nor are they always implemented with fidelity. One contextual factor that can influence successful EBP implementation is teacher attitudes toward an EBP. This study examined and compared the attitudes of general education and special education teachers toward EBPs. Study results suggest that special education teachers have more positive attitudes toward EBPs, while general education teachers are more likely to diverge from EBPs to support students with ASD. These findings have implications for improving the implementation of EBPs in both general and special education classrooms for students with disabilities, particularly students with ASD.
