She is also the founder and Executive Director of Step By Step Academy (SBSA), a highly-regarded centre-based non-profit Autism treatment centre in Columbus, Ohio. Since its formation almost ten years ago, SBSA has touched the lives of over one thousand students through rigorous application of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) treatments, resulting in exceptional outcomes.
Ms. LaMarche, with over fifteen years of professional experience in the field of ABA, uses her knowledge of behavioral treatment to produce ground breaking, effective, empirically validated curricula, a critical factor in successfully mainstreaming hundreds of students with ASD.

How can we increase student motivation, buy-in, and responsibility for their own learning — and still keep them engaged? According to studies, active student responding can increase student success and allows students to become more engaged in their own learning as active participants.
The idea behind active student responding is that students become responsible for their own learning by participating in activities on all levels — all students are equal participants in the learning activities, rather than just the student who is called on or raises his or her hand. This technique has been shown to be successful with students with disabilities as well as typical students (Lerner, 2011). Instructors are encouraged to be creative in thinking of ways to facilitate student participation and ownership of their learning. In addition to the actual techniques involved in active student responding, instructors should be familiar with the benefits of this teaching method and how this strategy increases learning and decreases problematic behavior.
This 2-hour webcast provides a review of theory, practice, and methodology designed for teachers, paraprofessionals, BCaBAs and BCBAs working with persons with autism and/or supervising direct treatment staff, and other professionals working with adolescents and/or adults with autism and related disorders.
