Logic Model – 03/01/06

Mission:  Maximize potential of persons with ASD by making available state–of–the–art information on evidence-based interventions for persons with ASD, their families, and professionals caring for these persons in California.

CORE OUTCOMES	PROJECT OBJECTIVES	KEY ACTIVITIES	DESIRED EFFECTS
Professionals, families, and policy makers understand & value evidence-based & effective approaches to intervention. Professionals & families are able to identify and effectively select interventions based on each child’s unique needs. Policymakers make decisions based on current state of evidence-based knowledge regarding ASD.	The mechanisms are in place for families to feel that their needs & their child’s needs are met. Effective intervention practices are adopted by the various agencies and organizations that provide services to individuals with ASD. Intervention services for individuals with ASD are more timely, successful and viable, thus resulting in effective use of local resources.	Families and other important stakeholders contribute input at various points in the development of the document. Methodology is developed whereby interventions will be evaluated and rated according to current scientific evidence and/or demonstrated clinical effectiveness. Research is synthesized and translated into clear, accessible guidelines and recommendations for professionals and families. Respected experts and organizations are involved in writing and reviewing the document.	Professionals, families, and policymakers have shared understanding about evidence-based & effective interventions for individuals w/ ASD. Professionals & families attain greater and consistent knowledge so that they are able to collaborate through an integrated process of assessment, intervention planning, evaluation of progress and steps for improvement.

Ultimate Benefit:  Improved outcomes for individuals with ASD.
