Description: BCBAs are challenged to reduce and prevent students with autism and other developmental disabilities from engaging in problem behavior including aggression. These severe behavior challenges limit a student’s ability to learn appropriate academic, vocational, and social skills and become a successful, independent adult. As schools have limited resources including funding and trained personnel, BCBAs are tasked to fix these challenges with quick, easy, effective, and low-cost solutions. This workshop includes 50 detailed interventions for school-based BCBAs to create positive, easy fixes, on a shoe-string budget. These strategies include ABA “buy in”, personnel training, curriculum, behavioral assessments, and program evaluation. |
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) define and demonstrate shaping and use of the feedback model to create behavior change. (2) Define and implement 50 ways to reduce/prevent problem behavior in school. (3) Use a data-based measurement system to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention(s). |
