Please note that every identified practice is not necessarily appropriate for every learner. Practices are most effective when carefully matched to a learner’s specific needs and characteristics. To date, the NPDC on ASD has identified 27 practices that meet the above criteria for evidence-based practices for children and youth with autism spectrum disorders. They continue to review the literature for practices that meet their definition. This list was updated by the NPDC in 2014 from 24 evidence-based practices to 27.
