| Writing Programs for the Advanced Learner: Programming Beyond Assessments |
| Friday, May 28, 2021 |
| 9:00 AM–12:00 PM |
| Online |
| Area: AUT; Domain: Service Delivery |
| CE Instructor: Shayna Gaunt, M.A. |
| SHAYNA GAUNT (How to ABA), SHIRA KARPEL (How to ABA) |
| Description: The advanced learner has a nearly full assessment, but still struggles with language and comprehension. In practice, we see learners who talk in sentences, but still do not answer wh-questions fluently or carry a conversation.
Has your learner outgrown the boxes of your usual assessments? How do you program for someone who is more complex than what you were taught during your BCBA supervision?
In this workshop, we will provide you with a road map for the advanced learner, including assessment, practical programs, data sheets, and materials. We will share our tips and tricks for advanced programming (gained from 20+ years of experience) and show you how to teach across operants so that your students’ skills are fluent and dynamic. Program individualization will be also be discussed. Instead of programming to an assessment, watch your learner soar!
Content has obtained credibility, as demonstrated by 20+ years of involvement in the practice and application of ABA within the autism community.
At How to ABA, we provide practical support and resources for ABA professionals. We help BCBA’s create dynamic, individualized programs by providing easy to access programs, materials and CEUs so that you can feel confident and master what you love. |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to: (1) Identify the 3 areas of need for an advanced learner after completing an assessment; (2) Demonstrate knowledge of program planning based on the profile of an advanced learner; (3) Write at least 3 dynamic skill acquisition programs for the advanced learner with ease and efficiency; (4) Develop corresponding data sheets tailored towards advanced learners that teach across operants. |
| Activities: The format combines lecture and small group activities. Workshop objectives will be met through a balanced presentation of lecture, video observation, discussion, small group break out, and guided practice. Supplemental materials for will be provided in order to support participant learning. |
| Audience: This workshop is intended for newly-minted behavior analysts providing language and social skills interventions for individuals diagnosed with ASD. Standardized competencies (e.g., BCBA) are suggested but not required. |
