| Description: This workshop will focus on what behavior analysts can contribute to the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injuries (ABI). Unlike other populations who are born with their impairments many persons with ABI had skills that were lost following their injuries. Re-teaching lost skills presents different challenges than teaching new skills. This workshop will present methods found in the behavioral literature to retrain social skills and manage behaviors. Participants will learn how to apply: mindfulness, fluency, discounting, and contingency management strategies to adults recovering from and living with ABI. Funding regulations regarding client rights will also be discussed as it applies to contingency management. |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to: (1) discriminate differences between acute and post-acute behavioral presentations; (2)describe how to use fluency training to teach facial recognition of emotions; (3)identify human rights issues in relation to contingency management. |
| Activities: Lecture, small group break out to work on core content. Participant will be given instructional materials to practice fluency, discounting and mindfulness exercises. |
| Audience: Intermediate Skill Level. Teachers, rehabilitation professionals and behavior analysts who wish to expand their scope of practice are strongly encouraged to attend. |
