| Description: This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for individuals to learn a well-defined self-monitoring strategy. It will explore peer-reviewed research that supports the implementation of self-monitoring systems for students of various ages and developmental levels. A discussion of self-monitoring procedures incorporating a “match” component will also be presented. The "Self & Match" system has been used nationally to support children with emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, and unidentified students in both regular education and special education settings. It can be employed as an individualized behavior system and/or a class-wide management procedure. A case study will illustrate the application of the "Self & Match" system implemented with a public school student diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Data will be reviewed to assess the students’ increase of appropriate classroom behavior and decrease of inappropriate behavior. Practical variations on application, progress monitoring (data collection), and fading procedures are discussed. This workshop is designed for behavior analysts, but will also cover areas of interest for consultants, school psychologists, teachers, administrators, parents, or others who are seeking to increase their knowledge of systematic self-monitoring as a behavioral intervention. |
