About SCERTS™
The SCERTS™ Model (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation and Transactional Support) was developed out of 25 years of research and clinical/educational practice by Dr. Barry Prizant, Dr. Amy Wetherby, Ms. Emily Rubin, Ms. Amy Laurent and Dr. Patrick Rydell, a multidisciplinary team of professionals trained in Communication Disorders, Special Education, Occupational Therapy, and Developmental and Behavioral Psychology. Each team member brought his or her area of expertise to create this educational approach for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families. SCERTS™ is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to enhancing communication and socioemotional abilities, and for supporting families.
The SCERTS™ Model Manual (Brookes Publishing, Inc.) is in preparation and will be available summer, 2005. A series of videotapes on the SCERTS™ Model is available published by Brookes Publishing, Inc., and National Professional Resources, Inc. Please see link on homepage.
Introductory Workshops and Seminars are presented on the SCERTS™ Model. We will be offering advanced and leadership level trainings once the manual is available. Please check this website for further information as new activities are developed and scheduled.
