The workshop will focus on (1) the basic principle of operant behavior (2) the types of antecedent and consequences that result in the increase or decrease of a target behavior, (3) various ways to measure behaviors and how to interpret the results of the data collected (4) effective teaching strategies for parents, and (5) the process of setting long-term and short-term goals for the child. |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the workshop, the participant will be able to: (1) Identify an operant, including antecedent, behavior, and consequence (2) identify the form and function of the target behavior (3) measure behaviors by counting, recording, graphing, and interpreting the data (4) implement effective teaching strategies, and (5) set long-term goals and the appropriate sized short-term objectives to meet those goals. |
| Activities: The three hour workshop will consist of 3 components: (1) A lecture on basic principles of behavior, (2) group activities that require parents to utilize the skills they learned in the lecture component, and (3) a group discussion giving parents an opportunity to present their work and receive feedback from the instructor. |
