The SCERTS® Model
A Comprehensive Educational Approach for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
By Barry M. Prizant, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Amy M. Wetherby, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Emily Rubin, CCC-SLP, Amy C. Laurent, Ed.M., OTR/L, & Patrick J. Rydell, Ed.D.
A groundbreaking synthesis of developmental, relationship-based, and skill-based approaches, The SCERTS® Model provides a framework for improving communication and social-emotional abilities in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families. Developed by internationally recognized experts, SCERTS® supports developmental progress in three domains: Social Communication (communicating spontaneously and establishing relationships), Emotional Regulation (regulating emotional arousal to support learning and engagement), and Transactional Support (elements that aid an individual's progress as he or she works toward a goal).
With this two-volume manual set, professionals will have comprehensive and practical guidance on using SCERTS® in assessment and intervention with preschool and elementary school students with ASD.
- Volume I: Assessment gives detailed background information on The SCERTS Model and guides professionals through the assessment process. Professionals will examine the research foundations and the recommended practices that inform the model; learn about specific goals and objectives for each of the three SCERTS® components; get a detailed listing of developmental milestones that contribute to the recommended assessment and intervention plans; explore The SCERTS Model’s similarities and differences with other models; and discover how to use the model in various settings. Assessment report and observation forms are included to help collect information and monitor child progress.
- Volume II: Program Planning and Intervention gives professionals explicit instruction on how to help children reach their goals following assessment. They’ll learn how to prioritize and set social communication and emotional regulation goals for young children; choose meaningful and purposeful activities to help them reach the goals, implement four types of transactional support (learning supports, interpersonal support, support to families, and support among professionals); and learn how to link all three SCERTS® components in program planning. In-depth vignettes on diverse children and families illustrate implementation of the model, and forms are included to help with intervention planning.
Semi-structured yet flexible enough to respond to individual differences, SCERTS® can be applied in many different settings and used with other intervention approaches. With this child- and family-centered model, based on over two decades of research and clinical experience, teams of early interventionists, preschool and elementary educators, clinicians and families will have everything they need to evaluate and promote the social and emotional development of children with ASD.
