We provide regular workshops on specified topics. Sometimes we offer the workshop and individual register and other times, we are invited to provide the workshop.

THREE-DAY "HANDS-ON" WORKSHOP ABA-BASED SUPPORTED INCLUSION:

 

I. An Introduction to ABA-Based Supported Inclusion

We shall cover how to implement strategies that target the following critical skills for children with autism in inclusive educational settings:

• strategies to teach children with autism to follow routines independently, (the use of visual schedules, prompting procedures, reinforcement)
•  strategies to teach peer interaction in a regular classroom environment (the use of recess buddies, social stories, a classwide social skills program, social script training)
•  strategies to assist children with autism to participate and learn within a group (EA-teacher coordinated prompting, praising, individualized group instruction, embedding individual objectives, peer tutoring)
•  strategies to teach children with autism independent seatwork (individualizing curriculum, programs for promoting independent seatwork)
•  strategies to teach communication within a regular classroom environment (incidental teaching of communication; Picture Exchange Communication System)
•  strategies to reduce problem behaviours (anticipating and preventing problem behaviours, teaching functional alternative behaviours, managing problem behaviours)
•  developing collaborative teams (the use of priming at home, the use of communication books, the collection and use of child performance measures and the intended outcome)

The workshop is geared for educators, educational assistants, consultants, parents and therapists.
