What the recordings cover
Presenter credits in our catalog include Lynn M. Dudek, Michele LaMarche, Miranda Schehr and Christine Austin. The linked profiles contain historical biographies.
SLPs and BCBAs: How Do We Make Collaboration Work?
Lynn Dudek discusses collaboration between speech language pathologists and behavior analysts: active listening, shared vocabulary, functional communication and planning around the individual and family. The recording connects communication assessments with behavioral teaching and considers communication beyond speech.
The Great 8 for SLPs and ASD
Lynn Dudek organizes the teaching around eight areas: assessment, reinforcement, visual supports, sensory needs, social skills, AAC, teamwork and comprehensive planning. Worked examples include teaching schedule use, Power Cards and a five-point voice scale. The closing discussion considers family routines and generalization.
ABA Overview
Michele LaMarche introduces ABA through everyday examples, observable behavior definitions, antecedents and consequences, reinforcement, prompting and behavior chains. The recording walks through collecting data before and after a change and examining what the data show.
Intro to Strategies to Increase Beginner Classroom Participation Skills
Michele LaMarche introduces assessment of skills, communication, motivation, and classroom and task conditions before examining reinforcement programs, visual supports and self-management. Recorded classroom examples compare individual and group approaches, including cautions about everyone losing a reward when one learner struggles.
Strategies to Increase Beginner Classroom Participation Skills: Teaching Methods in Application
Michele LaMarche compares eight classroom teaching approaches: discrete trial training, natural environment training, mix and vary, verbal behavior programming, pivotal response training, fluency-based instruction, direct instruction and peer-mediated intervention. She discusses motivation, data, generalization and the implementer’s training when selecting a method.
Errorless Teaching and Prompting
Michele LaMarche explains vocal, visual, physical, model, gestural, looking and positional prompts. She discusses consistent prompt levels across a team, systematic fading, prompt dependency and error correction, with demonstrations introduced in the recording.
Active Student Responding: Increasing Learner's Motivation and Self-Monitoring
Michele LaMarche and Miranda Schehr examine choral responding, response cards, guided notes, computer-assisted instruction and peer tutoring. Classroom examples explore observing participation and giving feedback. They discuss privacy when answers are visible to others and limits of competitive approaches.
Strategies to Increase Beginner Classroom Participation Skills: Decreasing Problem Behavior with an FBA: Part 1
Christine Austin walks through behavior definitions, indirect assessment tools, descriptive ABC data, scatter plots and functional-analysis conditions. Recorded examples support the assessment discussion. The session addresses consent and risk in functional analysis and closes with neutral-redirection demonstrations.
Pairing is being revised and is not part of what this library offers today. The original nine-session list includes Pairing; eight recordings are currently offered.
Reading the historical material
The Great 8 recording includes screening and diagnostic tools and older professional terminology. Those discussions reflect the recording's original context and should not be used as current diagnostic guidance. The FBA recording includes discussion of consent and risk in functional analysis. This is recorded professional study, not an individualized assessment or intervention plan.
The video sessions are not downloadable; slide decks accompany the offered recordings.
