“Research-Based Educational Practices for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders” by Joseph B. Ryan, Elizabeth Hughes, Antonis Katsiyannis, Melanie McDaniel, and Cynthia Sprinkle focuses on the most popular research-based educational practice that can be used to teach students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The most popular practices are the applied behavior analysis, the Developmental, Individual-Difference, Relationship-Based method, the Picture Exchange Communication System, social stories, and Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH).

ASD have a range of symptoms and include Autistic Disorder, Asperger’s syndrome, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Rett Syndrome, and Persuasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.
Since ASD has become such a rapid growing disability in the U.S., school systems and teachers need to be aware of the evidence-based educational practices that are out there to teach this population of students. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a “systematic process of studying and modifying observable behavior though a manipulation of the environment” (p. 96). Treatments of ABA are Discrete Trail Training and the Lovass Method which are both an “intervention that focuses n managing a child’s learning opportunities by teaching specific, manageable tasks until mastery in a continued effort to build upon the mastered skills” (p. 97). The Discrete Trail Training needs to be implemented 20 to 30 hours a week across a variety of settings and the Lovass Method needs to be implemented 20-40 hours a week. The Developmental Individual-Difference, Relationship-Based Approach Model
