WORKSHOPS

Workshop #1 Thursday 9:00 - 4:00 AM Auditorium II
Teaching Language to Children with Autism Mark Sundberg, Ph.D. (Behavior Analysts, Inc. Danville, CA)
This workshop is designed for individuals who are interested in improving the communication skills of children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. The workshop will be of interest to persons who wish to become (or who are) behavior analysts, special education teachers, speech and language pathologists, child psychologists, and anyone else who desires training in research-tested methods of language teaching. Participants will learn how to assess a person's language abilities and how to design and implement an appropriate language intervention program across home, school, and community settings. A major emphasis will be placed on identifying methods to enhance and utilize motivational variables to teach language in both structured teaching sessions and in daily activities. Techniques for coordinating the ongoing decision making necessary for effective language intervention and methods of data collections and tracking will also be covered. Additional topics will include the use of picture boards and picture exchange for establishing verbal behavior of students who have weak language skills. Fee $ 65 (includes materials).

Workshop # 2 Thursday 9:00-12:00 PM Room E
Practical Procedures for Using Functional Analysis in Clinical Practice Marilyn K. Bonem, Ph.D. & D. J. Delprato, Ph.D. (Eastern Michigan University)
This workshop is designed for human service providers who have direct-care, supervisory, or administrative responsibilities that require action or expertise in clinical functional analysis. It is organized around a procedural approach. Emphasis is on improving participants' skills in the development, use, and consultation on functional analysis procedures that approximate ideal functional analysis as closely as possible. One tool for accomplishing this is our classification system of procedures, around which the workshop is organized. Procedures will be presented didactically and by modeling. Participants will be given the opportunity to rehearse skills via role playing, observational exercises, and simulation. We assume that participants have some experience in recording behavioral events. Fee $30 (includes materials)

Workshop #3 Thursday 1:00 - 3:00 PM. Room E
Authoring and Offering College Courses on the Internet Belinda D. Lazarus, Ph.D. (University of Michigan-Dearborn)
Numerous colleges are offering courses for college credit and graduate degrees via the Internet. Internet courses and degrees are extremely popular because of the convenience of taking classes without leaving home. While many college faculty express concerns about online degrees, the market demand alone will ensure the future of this medium of education. This workshop will show participants an online course, discuss essential elements of online courses, show participants how to use guided notes, conferencing, e-mail, and free software to teach and evaluate students in cyberspace. Participants will also learn: (a) how to efficiently evaluate hyperlinks for inclusion in courses; (b) ways to format course pages for easy use by students; (c) sites to download free (virus free) software; and (d) ways to provide immediate corrective and reinforcing feedback to students. Fee $15 (Includes materials).

Workshop #4 Friday 9:00 - 12:00 AM Auditorium II
Recent Developments In The Assessment Of Child Sexual Abuse W. Joseph Wyatt, Ph.D. (Marshall University)
This workshop is designed for psychologists, social workers, law-enforcement officers, teachers, and other professionals who may be required to make a determination about child sexual abuse. Because the consequences of an inaccurate determination of child sexual abuse are so serious, it is imperative that such determinations are informed ones. This workshop is designed to assist professionals in making informed decisions. The workshop will: a) present the most recent data regarding the incidence of child sexual abuse and the frequency of true and false claims; b) give attendees a working knowledge of landmark cases of alleged sexual abuse; c) inform attendees of the most frequently held myths about the assessment of child sexual abuse; d) present the most recent research and its implications for a number of crucial issues in assessment of child sexual abuse including problems inherent in the pursuit of a single theory, the influences of repeated interview questions on later child testimony, the uses and limitations of anatomically detailed dolls, and cautions against stereotype induction; e) teach attendees the elements of an effective assessment for child sexual abuse including productive and non-productive approaches to talking with the child who may have been sexually abused; and f) teach attendees to critique a child sexual abuse assessment for its strengths and weaknesses. Fee $ 30 (includes materials).

Workshop #5 Friday 1:00 - 4:00 PM Auditorium II
How to Do Discrete-Trial Programming for Young Children with Autism: A Problem Solving Approach to Procedures and Curriculum
Patricia C. Meinhold, Ph.D. (Summit Centre, Windsor, Ontario)
With the publication of Behavioral Interventions for Young Children with Autism (Maurice, Green, & Luce, 1996), parents, professionals, and others attempting to develop discrete trial programming for a child with autism gained a much-needed resource. Still, detailed instructions about conducting such treatment, and particularly how to solve the many small difficulties that can threaten treatment progress are not available. This workshop will review some of the common issues, errors, and concerns associated with discrete-trial programming. We will begin with an introduction to the basics of the discrete trial approach and the principles of curriculum development and selection. Then, we will review common programming errors taken from the author's own experience. A variety of solutions that have shown reasonable success rates will be used to illustrate the basic components of treatment as well as the problem-solving solutions offered. Fee $30 (Includes materials)

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT©: Individual and group performance at school and at work; Individual and group performance in sports. J. Silva (Maximum Performance Management, Inc./Rosenbaum and Associates/University of Michigan)

To succeed is to savor rewards. Success (and/or happiness) is not an individual experience. It is a social experience; it is the outcome of teamwork. The one who takes all the credit and keeps all the rewards will benefit little and savor nothing. When you play for the "team," or the "family," or the "school" your rewards multiply. When you work or play for yourself the game will end prematurely. As individuals, and as groups, we need more than technical knowledge, academic skills, experience and physical performance to succeed. We require continuous learning, rehearsing, applying and later replicating our successes by teaching others those skills that improve our mental and physical performances. Furthermore, this process must include full cycle rehearsals (FCRs), changing criteria practices, implementation, celebration, and replication through teaching. This workshop will review the relationships among individuals, families, professional, school, work, recreation or professional sports. Whether you help children or adults, or you are interested in helping yourself, you will have a chance to learn factors that are essential to living. You will also understand how noncontingent rewards promote idiosyncratic living and self-destructive behaviors. Materials provided.

Auditorium II: Friday 1 - 4 p.m.

Toilet Training for Children with Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities (Cost $30)

Presenters: Gina E. Truesdell-Todd (Behavioral Building Blocks, PC/University of Kansas) & Krista M. Kennedy (Behavioral Building Blocks, PC)

This workshop provides an overview of behaviorally based effective toilet-training programs for children with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Participants will learn how to measure, implement, and assess the effectiveness of basic behavioral methods for reducing toileting problems. Participants need no prior knowledge or formal training in applied behavior analysis. The presenters will discuss representative cases and their outcomes, and can give advice to participants about approaches to their own cases. Materials provided.
