This system allows educators to understand how to implement an instructional programme for students with ASD. Known as CAPS, the model answers common questions about finding the right supports to fit a child’s learning style in order to help him reach his full potential. Used with The Ziggurat Model, CAPS enables educators and other professionals to address adequate yearly progress (AYP), response to intervention (RTI), and positive behaviour support (PBS). This expanded second edition of CAPS adds important new material on technical assistance/consultation as well as up-to-date considerations of current mandates and trends that support CAPS use, including a major focus on evidence-based practices.

Henry is executive director at the Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence (OCALI), where he concentrates on developing statewide change efforts in promoting advances in the training of professionals serving students with autism and providing supports for families. He was previously the program director of training and evaluation at the Kentucky Autism Training Center, University of Louisville (KATC), where he coordinated targeted professional development throughout the state.

Ginny’s CAPS
The following brief case study shows how CAPS was implemented for an 8-year-old student with ASD, Ginny. Ginny is in the second grade and tested in the “below-average” range on a test of cognitive ability. Ginny uses PECS (Frost & Bondy, 2002) to communicate, but shows limited generalization to school staff and none among peers. She receives her education in a kindergarten/first-grade resource room and is included during “specials” and early-morning calendar group. Ginny has been demonstrating some behavioral issues related to transitions, attention to task, and interacting appropriately with peers. Observations in Ginny’s classrooms confirmed behavioral issues identified as problematic and revealed an inconsistent use of supports. Ginny’s team met to create a CAPS to match Ginny’s daily schedule. Similar to most students, Ginny’s day begins before her first academic class. She starts with breakfast at school. As shown on the CAPS, Ginny will be learning three skills during this time: (a) making choices, (b) using a language board, and (c) following a schedule. Use of choice and language boards and the reinforcement is natural – eating the food she chooses from the breakfast menu. While Ginny does not need sensory supports for this activity, she does require communication and social interventions. She has social questions on her language board and a visual support that illustrate stable manners. Data collected include (a) frequency of making choices and (b) the number of times she used her language board.
