| Description: Developing competencies in Applied Behavior Analysis requires a mastery of both theory and application. Successful Behavior Analysts require both an in depth knowledge of theory and the ability to apply the skills in clinical and school settings. This workshop is designed for trainers to teach the competencies of ABA to teachers, paraprofessionals and other clinical staff to master both theory and demonstrate core clinical skills required to enact IEP goals. Participants will be able to identify core competencies in theory and train staff to display these skills to mastery in applied settings. Trainers will receive a manual and DVD with video models and training modules. |
| Learning Objectives: At the completion of the workshop, participants will have learned (about): - The key components of theory required to train teachers and paraprofessionals. This includes paper and pencil mastery exams. - How to teach and measure clinical skills in applied settings. - How to develop skills to measure the staff�s skill acquisition of clinical skills. - create a program to motivate and monitor the staff�s skill acquisition. - To create and design individual core competencies for each staff member tailored to their skill level of both mastery of theory and application. - How to create and maintain home programs to ensure generalization of skills across settings. |
| Activities: Using lecture, video demonstrations, handouts and discussion, participants will learn the key training protocols for staff to effectively implement ABA based IEP goals. |
| Audience: This workshop is designed for Behavior Analysts who train teachers and paraprofessionals who work with children with autism. This will help teach the staff to understand and demonstrate the core competencies of Applied Behavior Analysis in order to be effective practitioners. |
