| Description: This INTERACTIVE and HANDS-ON workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for individuals or teams to learn a well-defined, systematic self-monitoring intervention called The Self & Match System. Participants attending this workshop will receive a Self & Match manual including access to an online portal of resources. This session will dive into the science behind self-monitoring as we explore peer-reviewed research that supports its effectiveness for individuals of all ages and developmental stages. The bulk of the workshop will focus on providing attendees with a comprehensive planning guide and practical tools in order to implement The Self & Match System with students and/or clients immediately and effectively. This data-based system can be a key to reducing behavioral challenges, increasing desired behaviors, and fostering independence in a variety of settings. The Self & Match System is grounded in behavioral science and has been used internationally to support individuals with emotional behavior disorders, autism, learning disabilities, and unidentified students. Self & Match can be incorporated into individualized behavior systems, class-wide, and school-wide management procedures as a part of SWPBIS and has been successfully implemented in a variety of settings; including public and private schools, clinics, homes, and community settings. |
| Learning Objectives: 1) Identify the research-based benefits of self-monitoring interventions 2) Effectively apply, individualize, and monitor progress of a self-monitoring system 3) Identify the necessary components of an effective motivational system 4) Identify the importance of pre-treatment planning on the effectiveness of intervention 5) Understand the implementation Self & Match System in a variety of settings including a General Education Setting, Home Setting, and Special Education Setting 6) Systematically individualize an intervention based on collaborative and critical thinking and make adjustments based on data-based decisions 7) Systematically consider function in the development of self-monitoring interventions and reinforcement opportunities |
| Activities: During the course of this hands-on workshop, participants will strengthen the skills needed to effectively develop self-monitoring interventions incorporating a match/accountability component. This workshop will review the purpose/rationale of self-monitoring, the benefits of self-monitoring, the Self & Match system, and consider the role of technology in enhancing this behavioral intervention. Additionally, participants will interactively complete a "Systematic Considerations Guide" prior to implementation.The format combines lecture, small group collaboration, whole group responding, and discussion. Core content will be taught through a combination of lecture, data analysis, and guided practice. |
| Audience: Participants will engage in active learning to increase their knowledge of implementing self-monitoring in their practice. Workshop attendees will receive a Self & Match manual with substantial training materials, a systematic guide to planning self-monitoring systems, and access to Self & Match Maker, an online self-monitoring forms creator. This workshop is designed for behavior analysts, consultants, school psychologists, autism specialists, special educators, teachers, administrators, and/or others who support individuals in school, home, or clinic settings.
