	Collaborative Training Programs
		In 2006, the HANDS in Autism program extended to begin developing collaborative community-based classrooms. School staff in the collaborative classrooms are trained in the program’s philosophy with intensive modeling, practice, feedback, coaching and mentoring as a means of demonstrating the practicality and transportability of these strategies beyond an intervention- or center-based environment. Ultimately, the goal is to not only develop evidence based programs, but also to establish these collaborative classrooms as ongoing training sites used to build local capacity. The model has been successful in training staff on a variety of dimensions and has also successfully served as a model of the effective collaboration and blending between the home/community, medical, and educational systems.
