The Ziggurat Model
is a valuable resource for public school professionals who must remain
in compliance with federal and state guidelines. Specifically, recent
trends in special education law emphasize the use of scientifically based
research approaches along with a focus on Response to Intervention (RTI).
Additionally, there is a strong push for incorporating positive behavioral
interventions and supports (PBIS) based on a functional behavioral assessment.
The Ziggurat Model is consistent with these practices.
The Ziggurat Model
is unique. While it is easy to find volumes of information describing
specific interventions, it is difficult to find information on how to
develop an intervention plan. This book presents a process and framework
for designing comprehensive interventions for individuals of all ages
with autism spectrum disorders. The Ziggurat Model was designed to simplify
a complex process. Parents and professionals will find the framework of
the Ziggurat Model to be a guide in developing more thorough and effective
interventions.
While the Ziggurat
Model is designed to address the needs of all individuals with autism
spectrum disorders, this book is written explicitly for the higher functioning
population. The book includes assessment tools, case scenarios, and many
interventions that were developed with their needs in mind.
