Supporting Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Schools Through Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Interprofessional Care Coordination for Pediatric Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

This chapter describes multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) as methods to implement school-wide evidence-based practice. This system includes examples like positive behavioral interventions and supports or response to intervention. These systems adapt the intensity of support for the population and need of students across behavioral and academic domains. The use of interdisciplinary teams through a multi-tiered framework allows schools to best serve student needs. Characteristics of MTSS schools and each of the three tiers are discussed.
