| Saturday, May 29, 2010 |
| 8:00 AM–11:00 AM |
| Mission B (Grand Hyatt) |
| Area: AUT/VBC; Domain: Applied Behavior Analysis |
| CE Instructor: Christina Lovaas, M.A. |
| MICHELLE TURAN (University of Windsor), NATALIE P. CROTEAU (Surrey Place), LIANNE M. MOROZ (Surrey Place Centre) |
| Description: This workshop will give participants an overview of the literature surrounding error correction strategies in discrete trial training and applied verbal behaviour programs. Specific strategies will be recommended regarding the selection of error correction strategies for the individual learner. Participants will view video examples of different strategies, practice particular strategies, and receive data collection materials to track error correction data. It is expected that participants will have some knowledge and practice of discrete trial training. |
| Learning Objectives: This workshop has the following objectives:
1. Participants will be able to describe the steps involved in implementing several error correction procedures.
2. Participants will be able to demonstrate the use of several error correction procedures within discrete trial training.
3. Participants will be able to summarize the current empirical evidence surrounding error correction procedures.
4. Participants will be able to describe various methods to match error correction strategies to individual learners.
5. Participants will learn to use data sheets to track the results of error correction procedures. |
| Activities: The workshop will include lectures, role-playing, video modeling, and discussion. |
| Audience: Instructors, therapists, and others who are responsible for designing and implementing applied behavior analysis programs for children with autism. |
| Content Area: Practice |
