This session will provide intensive training, and guided practices in teaching skills, as they relate to applied behavior analytic interventions.
Over the course of the 3 day training, it is designed to meet the needs of team members who are participating in the PaTTAN Autism Initiative systemic supports efforts. Focused on skills related to teaching students with autism and related developmental disorders, the training will involve having participants demonstrate skills related to identifying the verbal Operants and other concepts, developing classroom schedules and card sort systems for teaching, demonstrating procedures for intensive teaching (discrete trial instruction) and basic Mand training skills.
The training includes a brief overview of guidelines for the student assessment tool and deriving student programs based on the assessment outcomes. Establishing instructional control and reducing problem behavior will also be discussed. Participants will be required to demonstrate acquisition of conceptual skills through brief oral and written assessments, complete brief homework assignments, and demonstrate implementation of various teaching protocols.
Participant teams will state the basic procedures in developing a classroom schedule that includes dense schedule of instruction for critical language competencies.
