The Keystone AEA Autism Resource Team was formed to provide educationally-based consultative services for school districts and families within Keystone AEA. Autism resource team members have specialized training in order to work with children and young adults who have autism or similar characteristics.
Vision
The Keystone AEA Autism Resource Team is committed to consulting with families and schools through the use of evidence-based practices. When providing these services, the goal for each student is to gain independence, self-fulfillment, and access to the general education curriculum.
In order to meet this vision, members of the Keystone AEA Autism Resource Team:
- collaborate with AEA, LEA, and family members.
- provide information regarding autism and evidence-based practices to school teams, parents, and other agencies.
- collaborate with school teams regarding intervention plans, IEPs, and behavior intervention plans, again focused on the inclusion of evidence-based practices.
- engage in professional development opportunities as a team and on an individual basis.
