Popis: For many autistic students, to experience more successful outcomes, school processes must be restructured and given necessary resources. The probability of success can be increased by implementing a school system that integrates research-based academic and behavioral instructional support, along with collaborative data-informed decision-making routines. This paper presents an example of a transformational framework and technical assistance that were provided to six schools to reshape and increase the schools’ capacity to implement and sustain an equity-based multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) with intensified instructional decision making. Statistical analyses were used to examine the outcomes of autistic students (n = 23) who participated in a state assessment over three consecutive years in the same state. The results demonstrated an increase in academic scores, and many students transitioned to less-restrictive educational environments.
