The Ziggurat Model is a guide for designing comprehensive behavior interventions for
individuals of all ages with autism spectrum disorders. The Model has been adopted at
the district-wide and statewide levels. The Ziggurat approach centers on a five level
system, structured in a hierarchy. Each level represents an area that must be addressed
in order for an intervention plan to be comprehensive. The premise of the Ziggurat
Model is that underlying needs and characteristics related to the autism spectrum must
be addressed. Assessment tools to facilitate this process will be introduced.  
 
Parents, teachers, speech pathologists, psychologists, physicians, occupational therapists,
counselors, school administrators, autism consultants, and others will benefit from this
training. Emphasis is placed on working as an intervention team.
