Join us for a comprehensive introductory Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) training series on Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD) and Evidenced Based Practices (EBPs). You will learn to use research-based strategies to optimize the behavioral, social, academic and communicative functioning of students with ASD. All EBPs presented have foundations in and fall under the umbrella of ABA, including functional assessment, data collection, discrete trial teaching, verbal behavior, reinforcement, prompting, task analysis, and visual supports. This training provides hands-on practice through active participation, video examples and discussion. Additionally, participants will gain an understanding of how to handle escalating behaviors and how to support emotional regulation in students with ASD.

Complete all 6 sessions on all three day and earn an 18-hour ABA certificate or register for individual 3-hour sessions according to your needs and interests.
