CEU: Strategies to Increase Beginner Classroom Participation Skills: Teaching Methods in Application

BCBA CEUs: 2- Type II, BACB General

QABA CEUs: 2- General

APA/CESA: 2 General (Home Study)

Description: This 120-minute webcast will explore common teaching methods used in treatment to develop new behavior, the roots of each method, and how to analyze which method may be the best to apply with your child. From practice, we know most teachers, behavior analysts, and professionals are well-versed in one, or perhaps a few teaching methodologies such as discrete trial training and natural environment training. This knowledge is typically based on the person’s initial internship and practicum experience, job placement, and continuing education. As the field has expanded its literature, we have additional methodologies that are now implemented with persons with autism, some of which professionals have not had experience or formal training.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand and be able to select from 8 common teaching methodologies for use in treatment.
2. Understand and describe similarities and differences between teaching methodologies
3. Identify different behavior chains and correction procedures for use in the treatment
