This workshop is Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) approved for 12 hours of Continuing Education Credit for qualified participants.
This workshop provides a structure for a family-focused approach to ABA-based intensive intervention for toddlers and preschoolers with autism. Designed to help participants become proficient in developing a quality individualized program plan for a young child with autism, the approach combines strategies/curricula supported by early childhood development research with effective, evidence-based non-aversive behavioral analytic methodology embedded within family routines and play. Participants are taken through the steps of creating a plan to be implemented in naturally occurring settings, routines, and events which will help a child develop effective communication, social, play, self-care, and emergent academic skills; thus preventing or replacing behaviors which can interfere with quality social interaction and learning from the environment.
