Abstract

This Project implements evidence-based training modules in diverse school settings to enhance staff responsiveness to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study focused on evaluating the impact of visual structure modules and reinforcement strategies using the Classroom-Wide Data Rating (C-WDR) method. Observations from North Webster Elementary and Lakeview Middle School showed that strategies such as 'Specific Praise' and 'Positive Attention' led to improved staff reactions to appropriate student behavior. Findings underscore the importance of continuous module refinement and targeted reinforcement techniques. Although limited by sample size, results suggest that structured training modules are effective tools in fostering inclusive, supportive educational environments.
