Classroom Management
Classroom Management is designed to assist educators from all backgrounds in designing a classroom setting that provides an optimal learning environment for all children, including those with autism. Participants will learn strategies for creating predictable routines and schedules; establishing expectations; and preventing challenging classroom behaviors.
Introduction to the Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for Supporting the Instruction of Students with Autism
This training is designed to provide educators with a foundational understanding of the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and how they are incorporated into evidence-based practices for individuals with autism. Participants will review the core characteristics and the learning needs of students with autism. Time will be spent understanding ABA, task analysis, reinforcement, and the learning cycle in preparation for more advanced educational trainings.
Introduction to Evidence-Based Instructional Strategies: Least-to-Most Prompting, Most-to-Least Prompting, and Graduated Guidance
Participants will be introduced to the basics of instructional prompting and trained in three specific evidence-based practices for supporting the learning of individuals with autism: least-to-most prompting, most-to-least prompting, and graduated guidance. Data collection procedures for these strategies will be introduced. Prerequisite: Introduction to the Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for Supporting the Instruction of Students with Autism or advanced knowledge in the application of the principles of ABA.
Advanced Evidence-Based Instructional Strategies: Simultaneous Prompting, Progressive Time Delay, and Constant Time Delay
Participants will be introduced to advanced instructional prompting techniques, including simultaneous prompting, constant time delay, and progressive time delay. Data collection procedures for these strategies will be introduced. Prerequisite: Introduction to the Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for Supporting the Instruction of Students with Autism; and Introduction to Evidence-Based Instructional Strategies: Least-to-Most Prompting, Most-to-Least Prompting, and Graduated Guidance.
Classroom Data Collection
This training will review classroom-based data collection systems, procedures, and methods designed to measure student learning and instructional efficacy. Participants will learn how to design data collection systems that ensure fidelity across team members and tracking mechanisms for streamlining team planning. Prerequisite: Introduction to the Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for Supporting the Instruction of Students with Autism or advanced knowledge in the application of the principles of ABA.
