DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant proposal is to highlight the steps that Danya International, Inc. (Danya), will take to develop Educating Adults About Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders (EACA), an educational training program for school personnel who regularly interact with children in grades 1 through 5 with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). EACA is an innovative multimedia training program specifically designed to meet the pressing need for educational resources for adults who interact with the growing numbers of children with ASDs entering the public education system. Program components will include a training facilitator's guide, participant workbook, and audiovisual program supplement to be used during in-person staff trainings. The educational training program will cover topic areas such as the definition and description of ASDs, how to engage and effectively interact with a child with autism, and how to manage problem behaviors, with customized sections for different types of adults in public school settings (personal assistants/one-on-one aides [known as paraeducators], principals, bus drivers, physical education teachers, art/music teachers, cafeteria workers/librarians). During Phase I, the project team will create training program materials for two modules: (1) "Definition and Description of ASD" and (2) the customized module for paraeducators, as well as draft an outline for the remaining general modules: "Engaging and Interacting With a Child With ASD" and "Managing Problem Behaviors." Throughout product development, the project team will obtain input and feedback from key stakeholders and our expert Advisory Panel. At the end of the Phase I project, we will conduct a pilot study using a randomized experimental/lagged control design with paraeducators to determine acceptability and usability as well as to assess effectiveness in increasing participants' knowledge related to understanding ASDs and promoting positive attitudes toward children with ASDs. EACA will be an innovative multimedia training program to aid school personnel by teaching them how to properly interact with children with ASDs to assist in their inclusion in the classroom, on school buses, and on playing fields via a cost-efficient, easy-to-use, position-specific intervention. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Educating Adults about Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (EACA) will be an educational training program for school personnel who regularly interact with children in grades 1 through 5. Customized sections for adults in public school settings, such as paraeducators, administrators, bus drivers, and librarians, will effectively engage and train these adults to positively interact with a child with autism, manage problem behaviors, and foster social inclusion in various school settings.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant proposal is to highlight the steps that Danya International, Inc. (Danya), will take to develop Educating Adults About Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders (EACA), an educational training program for school personnel who regularly interact with children in grades 1 through 5 with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). EACA是一项创新的多媒体培训计划，专门针对与越来越多的ASDS进入公共教育系统的儿童互动的成年人对教育资源的紧迫需求。计划组件将包括培训主持人指南，参与者工作簿和视听计划补充，将在面对面的员工培训期间使用。 The educational training program will cover topic areas such as the definition and description of ASDs, how to engage and effectively interact with a child with autism, and how to manage problem behaviors, with customized sections for different types of adults in public school settings (personal assistants/one-on-one aides [known as paraeducators], principals, bus drivers, physical education teachers, art/music teachers, cafeteria workers/librarians). 在第一阶段，项目团队将为两个模块创建培训计划材料：（1）“ ASD的定义和描述”和（2）降落器的定制模块，并草拟了其余的一般模块的大纲：“与儿童进行ASD和“ ASD和“管理问题”行为与儿童进行互动和互动”。在整个产品开发中，项目团队将获得主要利益相关者和我们的专业咨询小组的意见和反馈。在I阶段项目结束时，我们将使用与辅助器的随机实验/滞后控制设计进行试点研究，以确定可接受性和可用性，并评估有效性，以提高参与者与理解ASDS相关的知识和促进对ASD儿童的积极态度。 EACA将是一项创新的多媒体培训计划，旨在通过教他们如何与ASD的儿童进行正确互动，以帮助他们通过课堂，校车和运动场上的互动，通过经济高效，易于使用，特定位置的干预。 公共卫生相关性：教育成年人有关自闭症谱系障碍儿童（EACA）的教育将是一项教育培训计划，针对学校人员，他们定期与1至5年级的儿童进行互动。在公立学校中为成年人定制的阶层，例如副教育者，管理员，管理员，公共汽车司机和图书馆师，将与这些成年人进行互动，并与这些成年人进行互动，并与这些成年人进行互动，并与这些孩子进行培训，并与自动化的孩子进行培训，并培训了自动化的自动化行为，并将其培训为自动化，并将其与自身行为互动 设置。
