| Description: Many middle and high school aged students with autism engage in a range of disruptive behavior, which severely limit their abilities to participate in typical family, school, and community activities. This workshop details several successful data-based case studies of public middle and high school students who learned to manage their disruptive behavior. These cases include decreasing aggression, self-injury, to near zero levels and maintaining for years. In addition, we will discuss toilet training a 15 year old. |
| Learning Objectives: The simple evidence-based interventions will be described using video, hands on activities, and a step-by-step visual manual in order to help parents, special educators, and BCBAs to enact these methods with their students quickly and easily. Participants are encouraged to bring their own cases to work in small groups to create strategies to use in their work settings. |
