REGIONAL Problem of Practice: What issues, challenge or need exists for individual with Autism that our Regional Network wants to try to address?

Current Regional Issue, Challenge or Problems of Practice

training clinicians on how to support students with autism; training paras/IAs from other agencies ; how to provide support and access to families; unable to train staff to conflicting work hours; not enough time to provide trainings to new teachers/IAs/parents/clinicians

Probable Root Cause of the Problem (identify the top probable root cause)

Time to focus on supporting the identified groups; time/motivation for the identified groups to participate; a need for support to initiate accessing resources and trainings; accountability

time/competing priorities for the identified groups and CAPTAIN Cadre

Change Ideas (list 1 change idea for the probable root cause)

calendared event; align to EBP of the month; change time; increase motivation amongst educators/families; record the content portion for share out

Action plan to support change idea (may need additional space to action plan)

sign up sheet for all cadre to select 1 month to facilitate (maybe 3 cadre per month?)

Expected Outcome if change idea is an improvement

The expected outcome is to increase participation in the Real Talk sessions.
