Michele LaMarche is the co-founder of Special Learning, Inc. 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. With her credentials and work through Special Learning and SBSA, she has changed the lives of countless individuals and families affected by ASD.
Though social skill deficits are recognized as a core characteristic of autism, in practice many treatment programs and school classrooms struggle to find ways to accomplish success in this area. In some cases, social skills are not adequately addressed in the early years due to a perception these skills are too advanced to focus on at such a young age, or not appropriate for children who also have verbal and cognitive deficits. Yet evidence shows children who lack social and emotional competence experience a delay in the acquisition of fundamental academic skills (Barbarin et al., 2006).
During this training, we review intervention strategies used to increase social competence, eight primary behavior categories targeted by the social intervention, and ways to begin social competence training with children in the beginning stages of treatment and communication ability.
Learning objectives:
1. Identify important social skills to assess for and treat in this age group
2. Understand strategies and specific tasks that may be implemented to increase social competence
3. Increase understanding of executive function definition and tasks related to building executive function skills
