CAPTAIN

The California Autism Professional Training and Information Network (CAPTAIN) is a cross agency network developed to support the understanding and use of evidence based practices for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across the state of California.  

Cadre members are nominated by SELPAs, Regional Centers, and Family Resource/ Family Empowerment Centers. They receive training through our annual summit so that they can provide local training, implementation coaching, cross agency collaboration, and dissemination of the EBPs at the local level. Cadre members have access to the NPDC-ASD and CAPTAIN training materials and will assist with the statewide distribution of the EBPs by providing support and training locally.

For more information about CAPTAIN and EBPs for ASD, please see About CAPTAIN.
