This webcast will provide you with the information you need to apply for the Cohort 4 technical assistance and training grant. You will learn the requirements and hear from a current division's special education director about her experience being part of the Cohort 3 program.

The Virginia Commonwealth University Autism Center for Excellence (VCU-ACE) is requesting applications from school divisions who wish to become exemplary sites in the provision of high-quality educational services and supports for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  VCU-ACE will select five to six school divisions through a competitive review process.  Successful applications will demonstrate a clearly defined strategy for long-term systemic changes across the entire school division with a clear understanding and plan for focused work in three key areas:
  • Divisionwide professional development plan which may include coaching, professional learning communities, or other.
  • Administrative knowledge and support,
  • Divisionwide systems change initiatives, and
  • Fidelity of implementation of evidence-based practices.
