I bought the SCERTS manual(s) -- at about $150!! -- and, coming from

ABA, was disappointed. On the other hand, there is probably no model

that can't be operationalized to the point where it can be incorporated

into your ABA approach. :-)

If only there were some way to measure the achievements of the children

in these various classes..... So you could offer a comparison.

I am receiving my BCBA and I have a MA and am a certified sped

teacher. I teach a prek autisitic class and use ABA principals, there

are three other classes in district that don't use ABA principals. My

sped director (who has little background in Autism) does not see the

importance or value of ABA, he believes it is just DTI. He wants all

the program to go to the SCERTS model. One, I have read about this

model, but know little about it, has anyone implemented it? I am

concerned greatly about the integrity of my program. I have had

children from the other classes placed in my class due to the fact

that their behaviors have not been able to be extinquished. I also use

the ABLLS for all my assessment and program planning.

So another question would be should I expect to start looking for

other employment in another school district if the SCERTS model is

going to be something that is not compatible with the ABA and VB

principals that I use in my classroom.
