Verbal Behavior, Discrete Trial Training, and Autism (Cost $35)

Presenters: Sebastien Bosch, Anne Cummings, Ivy Chong, & Caio Miguel (Western Michigan University)

This workshop will focus on the principles of applied behavior analysis, especially as they pertain to language training. Participants will gain an understanding of applied behavior analysis and how it is used with children diagnosed with autism. Participants will learn the basics of discrete trial training, particularly with basic verbal operants. This will be accomplished through lecture, video training, written exercises, role-playing and direct feedback. This workshop is aimed at parents, caregivers and professionals working with children diagnosed with autism. It serves as an introduction to Applied Behavior Analysis, discrete trial training and the Verbal Behavior therapy. The content of the workshop will be as follows : (1) Basic behavioral principles and techniques - (e.g., reinforcement, discrimination, prompting, fading, etc.) (2) Discrete trial training : what it is and how to do it.; (3) Fundamental Verbal Operants (e.g., mands, tacts, echoics, intraverbals ) and other issues related to language training; (4) The basics of curriculum design.

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.

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. Aimed at parents as well as professions who must deal with children that have not responded successfully to traditional methods of toilet training, or show inappropriate elimination patterns. 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.
