Abstract
Educators in the United States report struggling to effectively teach the 1 in 54 students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to federal guidelines, that require evidence-based resources to be supported. This qualitative collective case study explored how elementary, middle, and high school teachers in an urban school district in the southeastern United States used the Dick and Carey instructional design model, shown to positively impact ASD symptoms, alongside ASD evidence-based practices designed by the U.S. Department of Education, to meet the educational needs of all learners. Twelve participants engaged in this 12-week study as they implemented the Dick and Carey instructional design model alongside ASD evidence-based practices when designing instruction in their classrooms. Preimplementation participant data revealed lack of knowledge in instructional design and ASD evidence-based practices, and a lack of autonomy in the design of instruction for their students. Postimplementation, participants reported increased comfort when designing instruction for all students. These findings indicate a need for additional research into (a) ASD instructional design and inclusionary practices, (b) the impact of educational policy via the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in instructional design, (c) teacher university preparation program efficacy, and (d) designing instruction for vulnerable populations. This study highlights a need for additional research into the education of individuals with ASD, including instructional design research and educational policy implementation.
