| Supporting Natural Change Agents in Implementing Behavior Analytic Interventions for Children With Autism |
| Monday, March 7, 2022 |
| 12:30 PM–1:20 PM |
| Fourth Floor; Grand Ballroom 1/2 |
| Area: AUT; Domain: Service Delivery |
| Chair: Joseph H. Cihon (Autism Partnership Foundation) |
| CE Instructor: Mandy J. Rispoli, Ph.D. |
| Presenting Author: MANDY J. RISPOLI (Purdue University) |
| Abstract: Autistic children/children with autism are supported by a variety of natural change agents including teachers, service providers and caregivers. Yet natural change agents often do not have access to high quality professional development and training on behavior analytic evidence-based practices. Further, family training and support are often minimal in school and clinical service models. Without high quality provider and caregiver training and support, children’s access to effective intervention is limited. The purpose of this session is to share a model grounded in behavioral skills training and practice-based coaching for supporting teachers, providers, and caregivers to implement behavioral interventions with autistic children/children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This presentation will provide an overview of the model, review tools and practices to support attendee use of the model, and highlight data from several recent single case design studies evaluating this model. |
| Instruction Level: Intermediate |
| Target Audience: All attendees |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) identify key features in behavioral skills training and in practice-based coaching to promote provider knowledge and skills needed to implement function-based intervention for challenging behaviors; (2) visually analyze data from single case design studies designed to increase provider and caregiver fidelity of functional behavior assessment and function-based intervention; (3) identify key practices to teach and support other adults to implement behavior analytic interventions with high fidelity. |
