Are you passionate about Applied Behavior Analysis and committed to staying at the forefront of evidence-based practices? Look no further than Special Learning, your premier destination for a vibrant and collaborative online ABA learning community in our monthly Journal Club.

In our October Journal Club presented by Dr. Lori Ann Dotson, we explored “Positive Behavior Support in the treatment of Aggression” (book chapter).

Overview:

In this session, we will delve into the application of Positive Behavior Support (PBS) for managing severe problem behaviors, particularly aggression. PBS applies the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to improve quality of life by addressing behaviors that pose significant barriers. We'll discuss how PBS plans are developed through comprehensive functional assessments and designed to minimize the need for reactive, punitive interventions, instead focusing on proactive, constructive strategies.

During the session, we will dive into both proactive strategies like environmental modifications and skill-building to prevent aggression, as well as reactive approaches for managing behaviors when they occur. Our discussion will cover how these strategies can be seamlessly implemented to ensure consistency and promote positive long-term outcomes. This is an excellent opportunity for behavior analysts and practitioners to deepen their understanding of PBS and collaborate on best practices.

Who Should Attend:

Professionals in the field of behavior analysis
Educators, therapists, and caregivers working with individuals on the autism spectrum
Researchers and students interested in autism studies
Advocates for diversity and inclusion

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the complexities of autism, behavior analysis, and the ongoing dialogue between professionals and the autistic community.

Learning Objectives:

1. What are elements of the multi-element behavior support (MEBS) paradigm.

2. How does a MEBS approach differ from a traditional, linear approach.

3. What ways can Quality of Life be a driver as well as an outcome.
