Educational programming for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can be described at two different levels: focused approaches and comprehensive approaches. Focused approaches utilize evidence-based strategies directed at particular symptoms. These evidence-based strategies are indeed essential for supporting individuals with ASD in relation to particular areas of need. In contrast, a comprehensive approach provides a framework that is broad in scope and is designed to improve overall functioning and to produce positive long-term outcomes in adulthood. The SCERTS® Model is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary educational approach that was developed to maximize long-term positive outcomes for individuals with ASD and their families while embracing a wide range of more focused evidence-based interventions (Prizant et al. 2006).
