This Brief examines COMPASS - the Collaborative Model for Promoting Competence and Success - a
consultation-based intervention specialized for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Based on the Evidence-Based Practices in Psychology (EBPP) framework the volume describes the
processes that strengthen the expert support relationships between consultant and teacher (i.e.
implementation) and between teacher and student (i.e. intervention). In addition the Brief
addresses how consultation methods work within COMPASS with teachers learning from
consultants' implementation methods to tailor instructions that are specific to students'
educational and personal factors. This unique framework corresponds with current widespread
research and aims to provide more effective educational services for students with ASD during
their crucial formative years. Topics featured in this text include: COMPASS practice outcome
based on idiographic assessment and measures of quality. Evidence for the efficacy of COMPASS.
COMPASS implementation quality. COMPASS intervention quality and active ingredients. Teacher
and student internal and external factors impacting COMPASS. COMPASS and Implementation Science
is a must-have resource for clinicians scientist-practitioners researchers and graduate
students in the fields of child and school psychology behavioral therapy and social work as
well as rehabilitation special education and speech pathology.
