Expert Speaker Series - Designing and Implementing a Language and Social Skills Intervention Program Based on the VB-MAPP. Day 1

Designing and Implementing a Language and Social Skills Intervention Program Based on the VB-MAPP

Mark L. Sundberg,Ph.D., BCBA-D, Sundberg and Associates

April 2 and 3, 2012: 10:00 a.m. -4:00 p.m. (6 hours per day)

This 2 day workshop will describe how to use the VB-MAPP (the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program) to assess an individual child's language and social skills, as well as identifying potential barriers that may inhibit the child's development. The VB-MAPP is derived from behavior analysis, B.F. Skinner analysis of verbal behavior, and the developmental milestones of typical children. The workshop will then focus on how to set up an individualized language and social skills intervention program based on the results of a VB-MAPP assessment. Additional topics discussed over the course of the workshop will include how to use a child's strengths to develop skills in other areas, how to set up a verbal behavior classroom or home program, writing IEP goals, data collection, addressing behavior problems, choosing augmentative communication systems, and transition to a less restrictive environment.

Expert Speaker Series - Improving Play and Leisure Skills of Individuals with ASD

Improving Play and Leisure Skills of Individuals with ASD

Bridget A. Taylor, Psy.D., BCBA-D, Alpine Learning Group

March 15, 2012: 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. (3 hours)

Identifying age-appropriate play and leisure activities for learners with autism can be quite challenging. It can be especially difficult as individuals with autism age and certain play activities are no longer age appropriate or socially valid. In addition, it may be challenging to teach age-appropriate play and leisure activities given a learner's interest in repetitive or stereotypic behavior. The good news is the field of applied behavior analysis offers a wide range of teaching strategies to improve play and leisure skills. Programming for play and leisure activities often requires creativity and modification of activities to meet a learner's skills and abilities. This presentation will provide an overview of a variety of play and leisure activities that can be adapted or modified for learners with autism. Video-taped examples will illustrate research-based teaching strategies and a variety of activities across the lifespan.

Expert Speaker Series - Interventions of Children with Feeding and Eating Problems

Interventions for Children with Feeding and Eating Problems

Keith E. Williams, Ph.D., BCBA-D, Penn State Hershey Medical Center

May 3, 2012: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (6 hours)

Problems with feeding and eating are common among children, especially children with autism spectrum disorders or other developmental disabilities. Children with feeding problems may refuse to eat entire food groups or eat only a narrow range of textures. Other children refuse foods completely and either drink liquid supplements or receive supplemental tube feedings. Still others eat too fast putting them at risk for choking or vomiting. Regardless of the type of eating problem experienced, there are adverse social implications for these children who are unable to eat with family and peers. In this workshop, interventions for a range of feeding and eating problems will be discussed.

At the end of the workshop, the learner will be able to:

1. Discuss methods commonly used in the assessment of feeding problems.

2. Based upon the information provided, develop an intervention for the treatment of food selectivity.

3. List at least three behavioral procedures commonly included in treatments for food refusal.

Expert Speaker Series - Towards a Model for Developing Effective and Preferred Treatments for a Stereotypic Behavior of Persons Diagnosed with Autism

Towards a Model for Developing Effective and Preferred Treatments for a Stereotypic Behavior of Persons Diagnosed with Autism

Gregory P. Hanley, Ph.D., BCBA-D, Western New England College

February 9, 2012: 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. (2 hours)

Persons diagnosed with autism often engage in repetitive acts that appear to serve no function; these acts are collectively referred to as stereotypy due to the formal similarity of the acts and the periodicity with which they are emitted. Behavior analysts are often called upon to develop behavior plans addressing stereotypy when it is exhibited with impairing frequency. It is growing increasingly difficult, however, to select from among the may interventions that have been demonstrated to be effective.
