LEAP Preschool: An Inclusive Model of Early Autism Intervention

In this webinar, Phil Strain and Ted Bovey introduce you to the LEAP Preschool Model, an inclusive, evidence-based model for young children with autism that was founded in 1981. The webinar begins with an overview of key model Ted Bovey components, follows with a discussion of several key research findings from over 30 years of research on the intervention strategies used and outcomes for children in the program and then wraps up by highlighting some of the key lessons learned about preschool inclusion for young children with autism. The LEAP Model parallels the levels of the Pyramid Model in many ways and similarities between LEAP and Pyramid implementation are briefly outlined.

Establishing the Pyramid Model as an Evidence-Based Practice: Results from a Randomized Study

In this webinar, Mary Louise Hemmeter and Lise Fox discuss a recently completed, randomized trial that examined the implementation of the Pyramid Model within public school preschool classrooms in Tennessee and Florida that included children with disabilities. They describe the research methods, training and supports provided to teachers, and the outcomes for teachers and children including children with challenging behavior. The discussion focuses on issues related to implementation fidelity, coaching, and measuring the outcomes associated with Pyramid Model implementation.
