December , 2018 Work Plan

WHAT BY WHOM WHEN COMMENT
Communicate proposal to MAASE leadership regarding the need for increased member involvement in this CoP to improve use of evidence based practices in school based programming regardless of placement Christi Jan 15 Consistent feedback given at collaboration presentations regarding the lack of EBP use in school programming. This makes collaborating with school personnel challenging as the potential point of collaboration (ABA methodology = EBP) is not there. *Also begs the question of “our we truly offering FAPE for kids on the spectrum if EBP’s are not being used?”
Consider expanding this CoP to include other behavioral health categories – change our name? All members – consider possible name change. (i.e, using EBP’s is not just an ASD thing – should be a special education thing) By Feb – next meeting Discussion around including SEI and adjudicated youth with ASD CoP? Discussion around re-naming our group. Some ideas shared were mental and behavioral health CoP; Behavior and EBP CoP. **Please be thinking about this and help with developing a more inclusive name for our CoP.**
Host an EdCamp at Feb. MAASE to discuss use of behavioral supports (EBP’s) outside of ASD programming Christi & _______ (need one more volunteer) Feb MAASE
Consider how START and other initiatives could help support the use of EBP’s outside the world of autism (not just within ASD programming or LEA’s but also in MoCi or EI/Trauma world, etc.) Kelly Ongoing
