Crimmins D, Kelly B, Huddleston L, O'Hara A, Wells R. 2016. Positive behavior and visual supports delivered through in-home coaching. [Atlanta, GA]: Georgia State University, Center for Leadership in Disability, 22 pp.

Annotation: These presentation slides describe a pilot project (undertaken February – December 2015) that was funded by the Maternal and Child Health program of the Georgia Department of Public Health. Its focus was on children with autism or related developmental delays receiving Part C services. The program was implemented as a series of five in-home sessions designed to supplement and complement services provided under the Individualized Family Support Plan (IFSP). The program includes in-home coaching for parents, emphasizing the reinforcement of positive routines at home and providing direct, structured, yet individualized support to families. Key features include colorful graphs illustrating program outcomes. The presentation features a sample Brief Behavior Intervention Plan and introduces an upcoming "Positive Behavior Support Parent Academy" for additional support.
