Project Description:

NASD-CORP is a train-the-trainer pilot project to develop an online course for HIPPY Home Visitors and establish a Community of Research and Practice for graduates of the course. The online course will provide instruction, materials, and knowledge in autism, developing children's communication, handling challenging behaviors, and other topics relevant to HIPPY Home Visitors wanting to deliver home visiting and school readiness support to families with children recently diagnosed with autism. Following the development of the course, we will pilot test the registration process, 8-week course, assessments, and enrollment into the CORP with a group of experts, home visitors, and community partners who have agreed to help facilitate future administration of the course and CORP to subsequent cohorts who will participate after this project has ended.
