Description

This concurrent session focuses on a professional development model created in partnership with Tennessee Department of Education. The model includes a live workshop, webinar series, and brief online training modules, designed to increase the capacity of Tennessee educators in addressing the needs of autistic students also experiencing mental health concerns. Outcome data include changes in knowledge of evidence-based practices, frequency, usefulness, and feasibility of implementation, and social validity considerations.
