Beyond Instruction: Closing the Educational Gaps for Children with Autism

The ASPIRE program uses the Morningside Model of Generative Instruction to ensure that students with autism receive the best educational services possible. Combining the model with staff coaching and multi-level data analysis allows us to maximize potential for each student. This presentation from the 2018 Michigan Autism Conference focuses on the three main components of the model: instruction, practice, and application and detail how we supplement the model to ensure success with students with autism. Processes for analyzing data and coaching staff to ensure students continue to work toward meeting high educational and behavioral expectations are also detailed.
