The practicum week is just the beginning. Experiential coaches can be contracted to assist teams in post-practicum implementation, guidance and assessment of programming quality and parent education and involvement in their district throughout the year. In addition, Illinois Autism Partnership sponsors regional summits at different locations to offer opportunities for technical assistance and problem-solving among participants as they implement their learning. Schools and districts identify local coaches to provide instructional support and increase generalization of skills from the practicum experience to implementation in the classroom. This course qualifies for 35 Professional CPDUs or CEUs or 3 graduate college credit hours.
