Thank you for registering for AFIRM Module: Direct Instruction for .2 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

This online self-paced module is designed for professionals who work with and/or support learners with autism and their families in a variety of learning environments.

In this AFIRM module, Direct Instruction, professionals will learn how to plan for, use, and monitor the evidence-based practice.  Direct Instruction (DI) is a teaching model and accompanying curricula for supporting learners in mastering language, reading, math, and other academic subjects. Instructors follow carefully developed scripted lessons to present instructional content in a clear and consistent manner on each learner’s current skill level. The pace of the instruction is quick, and the specificity of the lessons decreases students’ confusion or misinterpretations.

This module is not intended to replace the Direct Instruction training, but rather, to introduce basic knowledge of DI as an evidence-based practice for learners with autism.
