Behavioral Foundations for Increasing Effectiveness of Text and Video as Teaching Supplements: Adaptive Instruction via the Internet
Roger D. Ray, Ph.D. (Rollins College)

This workshop is for teachers interested in learning how behavioral analytic principles have been integrated into adaptive digital and Internet technologies to assess and address individual student needs in Introductory Psychology. Using audience participation, multimedia, and guided viewing of digital video techniques for presentation of its initial content, the workshop will illustrate by example what it intends to teach participants regarding both behavioral and electronic technologies relevant to effective instruction. Both classroom techniques and Internet-based artificially intelligent adaptive instructional tools for shaping student comprehension skills while also teaching content will be demonstrated. The workshop will also review the use of such simulated experimental laboratory tools as CyberRat for teaching students skills in behavioral observation and analysis while offering on-line course administration and monitoring. Cost: $25 per person

Workshop #3 Friday 9:00 -11:50 a.m. & 1:00 - 3:50 Auditorium II
Basic Applied Behavior Analysis in the Treatment of Autism
Ronald B. Leaf, Ph.D. (Executive Director, Behavior Therapy and Learning Center)

There is a great deal of misinformation and confusion regarding issues such as etiology, prognosis, and treatment options. Current treatment practices have their foundation in extensive applied research. A knowledge of the early research is important for understanding and developing treatment plans. Behavioral treatment is often viewed as cold, mechanistic, and punitive. This conception is based upon pioneering work that occurred over 30 years ago. Behavioral treatment has evolved into a positive and natural approach. Discrete trail teaching is a specific method used to maximize learning. It is a teaching process used to develop most skills, including cognitive, communication, play, social, and self-help skills. There is tremendous misinformation and misconceptions regarding DTT/ABA.

The objectives of this workshop are to enhance a clearer and more accurate understanding of Autism, to facilitate an understanding of the foundations of treatment and its evolution, and to facilitate understanding of effective treatment procedures.
