The Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) is an observation tool utilized by educators to record individual progress towards the achievement of specific outcomes across many domains of development. This instrument was developed by the California Development of Education. All preschool special education programs are required to submit the DRDP Preschool Fundamental View for each student to CASEMIS, including students who receive Speech and Language services only. Beginning in August 2018, the requirement for training special educators to use the DRDP (2015) will follow a new procedure. Mandatory training will be delivered by the Desired Results Access Project directly to all special education teachers and service providers who administer the DRDP (2015). Participants have two ways to complete training: 1. In-person session: A half-day training session held in each of the 11 California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) regions. OR 2. Online course: A self- paced course consisting of seven brief modules offered in the learning center. After completing either training option, all participants must complete an online demonstration of rating skills exercise in the Desired Results Access Project’s learning center to receive a certificate of training completion. To register for a training, create an account through the learning center: https://draccesslearn.org/ There is no cost to attend.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral differences for a learner. Often there is nothing about the way a learner looks that tells us they have ASD. This can lead to limited understanding or recognition of the need to support these learning style differences until they present as a challenge in the classroom or on campus. In this training we will identify the characteristics of autism, discuss how thinking, learning and problem-solving may look different for learners with autism, where to locate resources and develop an understanding of the 28 evidence-based practices (EBPs) for autism and how to use them within the general education environment.
