PROJECT ABSTRACT
:
of the faculties of Special
ducation, College of Education,
and the Department of Communicative Disorders, College of
Professional Studies, Northern Illinois University; and the
School Association for Special Education-DuPage, a 29-member
district cooperative located in DuPage County, Illinois. The
program will serve autistic and autistic-like children of
elementary and secondary ages, and features the following: 1).
practice-stretching services in integrated, age-appropriate,
public schools; 2). programming in community settings as well
as home and school settings to increase the functional use,
generalizability, and durauility of skills taught; 3). the
establishment of a cadre of nonhandicapped students to act as
peer models and tutors; 4). the functional communicntion and
social skills required of individuals living in heterogenous
environments; 5). the use of social validation principles and
procedures to assess the social importance of instructional
objectives and the extent to which each student has met less
restrictive settings or progressively less dependent activities;
6). the use of personnel from many disciplines to participate
in educational decision making and programming; 7). the del-
ivery of comprehensive inservice programs; and 8). services to
parents and their inclusion as educational planners and imple-
menters. Services are provided in a suburban, regular elemen-
tary school. Twenty-nine school districts are involved.
