The Comprehensive Autism Planning System for Individuals (CAPS) is a comprehensive and effective tool for planning and implementing a student's education, including the Individualized Education Program (IEP) and the curriculum relevant to the student. Written by Shawn Henry and Brenda Smith Myles, the CAPS model provides a clear and organized framework for understanding and addressing the needs of autistic individuals. The book highlights a variety of evidence-based strategies that correspond to each area of the CAPS, making it a powerful tool for teachers and educational teams. The CAPS is simple yet powerful, helping teachers and educational teams plan and implement a student's education across the school, including the Individualized Education Program (IEP), and the curriculum relevant to the student. It takes the team through the process of planning out the goals/objectives to be targeted in each activity of the day, the modifications and accommodations that should be provided to support the student in each activity, the sensory supports needed to help the student stay engaged, and the communication and social supports for successful learning. The CAPS also provides a clear outline of the data to collect for each area and helps to note what reinforcers have been shown to be successful. While the CAPS was developed for use with individuals on the autism spectrum, it can also be an essential tool for any student, regardless of the types of supports and needs they have. The CAPS has been updated to address current trends in special education instruction and research, with emphasis on inclusion and successful practices that support learning for autistic students.
