Project Description:
The goal is to increase the number of masters trained special educators and school psychologists who will provide high-quality specialized services for school-age students with developmental disabilities, such as autism. Key areas of the program content under which objectives of the I-3 PREP training are organized include: 1) Interdisciplinary Collaboration. Engaging an interprofessional lens in coordinating services across school, family, and community settings, in a responsive manner; 2) Intensive Services. Using evidence to inform assessment and intervention practices for students; and 3) Integrated Approach: Ensuring a whole-child approach that attends to academic, and physical needs in least restrictive environments. A total of 10 I-3 PREP scholars will complete their own disciplinary requirements for the master's degree (special education or school psychology) while participating in the interdisciplinary program involving joint coursework, assignments, and practicum.
