  • provide your ARD committee with information regarding evaluation measures and the research that supports their use with individuals with autism;
  • help education professionals (who have the required experience and training to administer these instruments) design a high-quality evaluation that matches the skills and needs of the students they are evaluating; and 
  • improve the understanding of all ARD committee members, including parents, of the information provided about the student by a chosen evaluation instrument.
