AFIRM: Autism Focused Intervention Resources and Modules
The NPDC created online modules for each of the 27 evidence-based practices identified in the 2014 NPDC review. The modules are called Autism Focused Intervention Resources and Modules (AFIRM).
Each module will guide the learner through how to use the practice by focusing on the three specific steps of
- planning,
- using, and
- monitoring.

NCAEP is a continuation of the evidence review that was completed by the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders (NPDC) which included research published through 2011. We will review research studies published in the last six years (2012-2017) which examine the impact of behavioral, educational, clinical and developmental practices and service models used with individuals on the autism spectrum from birth through age 21. NCAEP reviewed research studies published from 2012-2017 and in 2020 published their new report on EBPs identified between 1990-2017.
