CE Offered: PSY/BACB
Improving Classroom Behavior Support Practices for Students With ASD
Saturday, May 25, 2013

101 F (Convention Center)
Area: AUT/EDC; Domain: Applied Research
CE Instructor: Robert F. Putnam, Ph.D.
ROBERT F. PUTNAM (The May Institute)
Description: This workshop will provide behavior analysts with an evidence-based approach to designing effective classroom interventions for students with autism spectrum disorder in general and substantially separate public school classrooms. It includes the use of functional assessment as a method to systematically evaluate the classroom environment in order to design, implement and evaluate effective classroomwide behavioral support practices. Once the environment is assessed, the model incorporates both indirect (i.e., lecture, written training materials) and direct (i.e., modeling, performance feedback) instruction. Finally, participants will learn how teachers participate in a data-based, decision-making process in order to establish more effective practices, procedures, and interactions with students. Data will be presented supporting the need for a comprehensive training method that includes both indirect and direct instruction in for teachers to adequately implement classroomwide behavior support practices.
Learning Objectives: At the completion of the workshop, participants should be able to: Apply assessment strategies to the selection and implementation of effective classroomwide practices with students with ASD. Use evidence-based methods used to train teachers in classroomwide behavior support practices. Usea data-based, decision process with teachers to modify classroom behavior support practices. Use instructional and behavior support practices that establish more effective interactions between teachers and students and increase on task behavior.
Activities: Participants will have an opportunity to engage in discussions with other behavior analysts, analyze sample data, draw conclusions about relevant classroomwide interventions, and role play the direct instruction (e.g., performance feedback)
Audience: Behavior analysts who provide training and consultation to school teachers or paraprofessionals.
Content Area: Practice
