Estimated participation across levels. Illustrates the identified sample. At the SELPA level, our goal is 70% participation with representation from at least 30 of the 42 single district SELPAs, 13 of the 18 necessary small SELPAs (NSS; all multi-district), and 43 of the 62 multi-district SELPAs for a total of 85 SELPA directors surveyed. Participating SELPA directors in multi-district SELPAs will be asked to distribute study information to district directors of special education/student services. SELPA directors will invite their program specialists. We anticipate a 40% response rate at each of the subsequent levels. District special education directors will be asked to distribute study information to all of their autism/behavior coordinators and principals/site administrators at elementary, middle, and high schools (including special education schools and preschools), who will then distribute to each special education teachers and paraprofessional educators serving children with ASD within their district. There are on average 8.6 schools per district. Principals will then invite each special education teacher (including resource specialists) and paraprofessionals serving children with ASD. This will vary by district as well as by student enrollment; however, there are approximately 3.7 special education teachers and 5.8 paraprofessional educators per school across the state. CAPTAIN cadre member trainers will be included in their home SELPA/district and will also complete some additional information if they have a role as a trainer.1Estimated number of people invited (estimated number participating); 2Estimated range per SELPA/district/school
