The National Professional Development Center (NPDC) on Autism was funded by the Office of Special Education Programs in the US Department of Education from 2007-2014. During the seven-year funding cycle, the NPDC created several resources that were used and revised in our work with 12 states and with individual programs, practitioners, students, and families in those states. Resources include the online modules called Autism Focused-Intervention Resources and Modules (AFIRM) and Trainings to assist on the NPDC model and Autism Program Environment Rating Scale (APERS).
