| Description: This is an introductory workshop aimed at those who are new to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. The workshop will emphasize developing an understanding of the basic vocabulary and concepts that are central to understanding the books, journals, and presentations of ABA. In addition to building basic vocabulary and understanding of the basic concepts, a portion of the time will be spent "translating" the vocabulary of other fields into language and concepts compatible with ABA. |
| Learning Objectives: 1. Participants will become fluent in the basic vocabulary of ABA. 2. Participants will be able to translate concepts from other fields into language compatible with ABA. 3. Participants will learn the basics of common behavior management techniques. 4. Participants will learn the basics of common teaching techniques. 5. Participants will learn how and when to use common data collection techniques. 6. Participants will learn to draft basic behavioral goals and objectives. 7. Participants will learn to avoid common treatment mistakes that come about from misunderstandings of particular ABA techniques. |
| Activities: This will be a mixture of lecture, discussion, and analysis of audio and video materials. |
| Audience: Parents and direct care workers who are fairly new to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, or those who wish to brush up on the basics. |
