Session 1: Advancements in Autism Interventions
9:00 am-3:00 pm. Target Audience: Professionals / educators, and parents. CEU = 4.5 contact hours
Behavior analysis is considered the gold standard in developing socially significant interventions for individuals diagnosed with autism. Over the past 20 years, advancements have been made relating to understanding the diagnosis of autism and the application of behavior analysis. Dr. Miller will provide a summary of these advancements in 3 key areas: instructional control, motivation and pairing, and early intervention. The workshop will include video examples demonstrating these advancements, discussion of the research supporting these advancements, and opportunities to practice applying this information in small groups.
Session II: "The Seven Steps to Instructional Control": Ethics and Alternatives to Traditional Escape Extinction
3:30 pm-5:30 pm. Target Audience: Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts, or students completing an ABA course sequence. CEU = 2.0 contact hours available to BCBAs and BCaBAs only
Behavior analytic intervention programs frequently include the use of forced prompting to earn compliance with demands and reduce escape maintained challenging behavior. This approach is effective but can result in an increase in challenging behavior if the challenging behavior is also maintained by attention or can be difficult to implement with clients who are larger in size. Additionally, caregivers and staff may not accept the use of forced prompting and may not implement the procedure during the naturally occurring routine, which also reduces the effectiveness of the procedure. The purpose of this presentation is to explore ethical considerations regarding the use of forced prompting by drawing from the BACB Ethical and Professional Compliance Code and Van Houten et al. (1988). Additionally, the presentation will explore how the 7 Steps to Earning Instructional Control addresses these ethical considerations and whether research in the basic or applied areas supports alternatives to forced prompting such as the 7 Steps as viable options for reducing escape maintained challenging behavior.
