Project DescriptionABA/VB Classroom in Palisades School District
Added to the Competent Learner Model Project
To examine how to ease the change of the autistic support classroom to improve student success and decrease teacher/staff anxiety in the process.

Impact to Student Achievement
Participation Skills: CLM made us ask the question, “What can they do without us being in close contact?” We taught the students to not only engage in one-on-one learning environments, but also small group and individual learning sessions. Students were directed using the district curriculum and Direct Instruction. Students were included with general education students with an instructional assistant who worked to fade back as much as possible.
Manding: Students were taught to request for items and actions they wanted and needed, but they were also taught that they may need to wait for those items/ actions at times.
Personal Growth: Trust the Process!
This experience has taught me how to embrace a new classroom model that I did not fully understand in the beginning. I learned to “trust the process” and work with staff members to do the same.
Follow instructions with in the curriculum, consult with PaTTAN coaches, BCIU coaches, and other CLM teachers to problem solve.
Expansion of ProjectI think it would be valuable for a new teacher or
coach, to see what we have done in the classroom in Springfield elementary School. The classroom was transferred from a strict ABA-VB classroom to a Autistic Support Classroom meeting the needs of it’s students in the most appropriate way possible: by meeting them right where they are.
