Summary

This study evaluates the effect of a competency based model on program quality in Swedish preschools for Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Half of the participating preschools will receive "treatment as usual" (Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) provided to a Child with ASD in the preschool, supervised by an external supervisor from a habilitation center), while the other half will receive the above as well as, in-service training and monthly on-site coaching sessions also involving preschool staff other than the paraprofessional (competency based model). It is hypothesized that the competency based model will improve program quality, child's engagement, preschool staff knowledge, allegiance and self-efficacy compared to the comparison group.
