As an autism specialist, having a thorough understanding of the wide variety of academic, behavioral, and social skills assessments that are available for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a critical skill. Through studying the evidence-based practices related to the assessment of students with ASD, practitioners are better able to select appropriate assessments based on the unique needs of each student. Additionally, studying this research provides insight about the effect of assessments on students with ASD.

Utilize the “MA: Autism Spectrum Disorder Library Guide" and the GCU Library to conduct research about academic, behavioral, and social skills assessments. Review the “Preparing Annotated Bibliographies” and prepare an annotated bibliography that showcases a robust list of research on academic, behavioral, and social skills assessments for students with ASD.

• Minimum of 8-10 academic, properly annotated sources.
• Clear summaries of main points specific to academic, behavioral, and social skills assessments and associated effective practices.
