Taylor Thomas, Regional BCBA at Hopebridge, MA, BCBA
I have never known a life without autism. My older brother is autistic and one of my earliest memories was finding an activity that was mutually enjoyable (the swing). From my perspective, I needed to change the way I approached him in order to build a relationship- little did I know this would shape my career and lifelong passions. I stumbled upon ABA at the recommendation of a professor while looking for a meaningful career; the graduate program and job description had me at "autism". Over the last nine years at Hopebridge, I have had nearly every role within the ABA department and am now happy to serve as the Regional BCBA in Florida. My passion is to apply the "learn by listening" approach to as many service providers as possible to support our mission of access to quality care and the opportunity to live "the best life possible".

Parent Training Interventions
2022-07-28 09:30 - 10:30 UTC | https://behaviorlive.com/events/a-comparative-review-of-evidence-based-parent-training-interventions
CEUs: 1

Parents and caregivers play a key role in the success of ABA therapy. Their involvement and active participation in the generalization and development of their child’s program are critically important. At the same time, parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience a great deal of stress and an overwhelming number of responsibilities and needs associated with their child’s diagnosis, which can impact their participation and active engagement. As Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), we can support our clients and their families by using evidence-based interventions. This panel will provide a comparison of evidence-based interventions (Research Units Behavioral Intervention (RUBI), Project ImPACT, and Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)) that can be utilized in conjunction with parent training to provide comprehensive support to families and increase effective parent engagement. The panelists will begin by reviewing relevant research, highlighting how different evidence-based parent training methods can be applied to fit each family’s needs and optimize skill acquisition. Case examples will be presented, allowing the panelists to review and compare clinical experiences and outcomes of evidence-based parent training methods. The remaining time will be used to answer questions from the audience to promote further discussion on the importance of providing comprehensive parent training and support.

PLAY-SAY: Assent & Speech with Play Chains
2022-07-28 12:00 - 12:50 UTC | https://behaviorlive.com/events/play-say-beyond-pairing-improve-assent-social-engagement-and-verbal-behavior
CEUs: 1

Increased emphasis on client assent refocuses the importance of naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI) to improve the value of social stimuli and shape indicating responses. Defining and measuring indicating responses (e.g., eye gaze, approach, gesture, vocalization) to identify ”likes” (declarations of establishing operations), “dislikes” (declarations of abative operations) and withdrawal of assent provides opportunities to honor The Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts and shape agency in children with autism. Indicating responses provide opportunities to teach functional and formal communication to make choices, indicate assent, and calmly and clearly indicate assent withdrawal. Improving the frequency and variety of Indicating responses is also correlated with improved language outcomes (Topping, et al. 2013), learner cooperation (Shillingsburg, Bowen & Shapiro, 2014; Shillingsburg, Hansen & Wright, 2019), and has been correlated with social behavioral cusps and better learner outcomes (Harms & Greer, 2020). Instruction can be challenging when confronted with individuals with limited attending to others and restricted reinforcer pools. A view of early social, play, and communicative milestones through developmental and behavioral lenses allows the operationalization of methods to create play chains via four different categories of play. Pausing or adding novelty to the play chains provides opportunities to reinforce and shape early non-verbal communication, promote attending and responding to instructor social stimuli, condition ongoing social interaction as a reinforcer, and shape verbal behavior. Learn to scale and sequence training for successful staff implementation and client improvement. Outcome data from a pilot project which demonstrates improvement in learning opportunities after training implementation will also be presented.

Training Caregivers to Teach Critical Social Skills with their own Infants and Young Children
2022-07-30 12:15 - 15:15 UTC | https://behaviorlive.com/events/leadership-a-legacy-of-community-compassion-and-healing
CEUs: 3

This workshop will cover the early infant learning of key social skills using an operant learning paradigm. An emphasis will be placed on behavior analytic caregiver training procedures to increase critical social skills such as vocal imitation, eye contact, joint attention skills, and social referencing. We will examine previous research, discuss present ongoing research, and provide future directions. Procedures such as synchronized reinforcement, contingent reinforcement, shaping, environmental arrangement, and more will be discussed as they pertain to infants and young children. We will first describe experimental illustrations of how operant methodologies and social reinforcement are essential to understanding infant social-learning phenomena. Then we will offer behavioral procedures and interventions that have advanced our research with infants at an increased likelihood of developing autism and other developmental delays like fragile X syndrome. Finally, we will discuss research tactics that can be quick and effective for behavior analysts conducting interventions with infants.

Why Using ABA and OBM to Effectively Coach Employees Helps Decrease Burn Out and Turnover
2022-08-03 15:30 - 16:45 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | https://behaviorlive.com/events/why-using-aba-and-obm-to-effectively-coach-employees-helps-decrease-burn-out-and
Event Description
In a company that provides Applied Behavior Analytic (ABA) services, delivery of high-quality treatment to clients should be the terminal and utmost goal. However, companies also need deliver effective intervention to the clinicians who are delivering that treatment to its clients. In a fast-paced environment with ever-changing policies and standards, it’s easy for staff to burn out. Without proper training, employee incentives, leadership opportunities, and opportunities to refine skills through continued education, high turnover is likely, and individuals who receive and depend on behavior consultation and services will ultimately suffer. According to Reed, Hirst, and Howard (2013), a critical feature of evidence-based Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) practice is full implementation of empirically-validated interventions. In this presentation, panelists will briefly describe research-based strategies for selecting staff for leadership opportunities, developing and evaluating staff training programs for implementation of evidence-based treatment, and implementing effective coaching models and follow-up techniques and answer audience questions related to these topics.

Let’s Get Together — Strategies for Effective Group Supervision
2022-08-17 15:30 - 17:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | https://behaviorlive.com/events/lets-get-together-strategies-for-effective-group-supervision
Event Description

Supervision practices directly impact the clinical and professional development of supervisees and trainees. Individual observations and meetings are essential to high-quality supervision. However, supervisors may also elect to provide some supervision in a group format. When thoughtfully planned and carried out, the group supervision format provides the supervisor and supervisees with unique opportunities that do not exist in the individual supervision format, such as contacting multiple exemplars and varied role-play opportunities, observational learning, and public speaking. In this even we will discuss some strategies for realizing the unique benefits of group supervision.

Learning Objectives

Identify some of the risks of poorly planned and executed group supervision
Identify specific benefits of group supervision
Identify specific strategies for maximizing the benefits of group supervision

Adult and Pediatric Voice Disorders - Summit Professional Education
2022-08-23 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | https://summit-education.com/course/CVOIAE.1.2CREDIT/adult-and-pediatric-voice-disorders#WEBINAR
Course Description

A voice disorder occurs when voice quality, pitch, and loudness differ or are inappropriate for an individual age, gender, cultural background, or geographic location. A voice disorder is present when an individual expresses concern about having an abnormal voice that does not meet daily needs even if others do not perceive it as different (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association). Voice disorders are estimated to be present in between 3% and 9% of the U.S. population; with a reported prevalence in the pediatric population of 2% to 6%. Speech-language pathologists are trained to evaluate voice use and function to determine the possible cause of the reported and observed symptoms, and to determine the best intervention methods for improving voice production.

Voice disorders occur in both pediatric and adult populations and can be categorized as structural, neurogenic, or functional. Voice quality can also be affected when psychological stress leads to habitual vocal problems; these voice disorders are referred to as psychogenic voice disorders. Voice disorders are not mutually exclusive, and overlap is common. For example, while vocal nodules are an issue with the structure of the vocal mechanism, they result from behavioral voice misuse (a functional issue). Speech- language pathologists play a key role in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of voice disorders. The SLP’s professional roles and responsibilities include diagnostic assessment services, treatment, prevention and advocacy, and patient/family education.

CE Credit: 2.0 contact hours of instruction available for Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists

Caring About the Caregiver: Ethics of Effective Collaboration
2022-08-24 15:00 - 16:45 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | https://behaviorlive.com/events/caring-about-the-caregiver-ethics-of-effective-collaboration
Event Description

The Practice Guidelines for Healthcare Funders and Managers (CASP, 2020) categorizes caregiver consultation as a critical feature of treatment. However, across the industry, caregiver consultation is rarely prioritized and when it is, the quality of this support is highly variable. Drawing on collective experiences, working with and for healthcare funders, the presenters will share common mistakes and missteps made by analysts when conceptualizing caregiver support. Our goal of this presentation is to establish a higher standard of care for clients by presenting proven practices, as well as a model of consultation, which we believe will lead to an increase in caregiver engagement. Tying ethics into the discussion, an additional aim of this presentation is to provide attendees with strategies to improve communication and enhance coordination with caregivers for the clients we serve.

Learning objectives

List three resources in the literature which describe successful caregiver models.
Name two common mistakes or missteps made by analysts when conceptualizing caregiver involvement.
List three ethics code strands that directly relate to our obligation to work collaboratively and successfully with caregivers.

Cultural Diversity in Clinical Supervision OTs - Summit Professional Education
2022-08-25 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | https://summit-education.com/course/PSUPKM.1.2CREDIT/cultural-diversity-in-clinical-supervision#WEBINAR
Course Description

As America continues to grow in diversity of cultures and persons, it is imperative that Allied Health Professionals are not only sensitive to these variations, but culturally responsive as well. While these cultural differences are often identified and addressed as they relate to client treatments, rarely are they acknowledged as applied to clinical supervision. Becoming a culturally responsive practitioner not only benefits a novice professional, but positively contributes to the rehabilitation profession overall.

This course will provide participants with a definition of cultural responsiveness and cultural competence as it relates to clinical supervision. Participants will be provided with cultural variables of persons from European, African, Latino, Asian and Middle-Eastern descent and how these variables may impact therapeutic interventions. We will discuss variables encountered in clinical supervision as these variables relate to the supervisor-supervisee relationship, and identify strategies that may be beneficial in serving diverse populations.

CE Credit Available for Occupational Therapists

Highlights

Expand and improve knowledge of multicultural issues as they relate to clinical supervision
Develop and expand cultural responsiveness in the clinical setting
Improve cultural sensitivity and improve patient interactions

The ABA Supervision Handbook: A Guide to Quality Fieldwork Experience

CE Credits: 2 CE (2 SUP)

Event Description

It is the responsibility of every ABA supervisor to provide efficacious supervision to current and prospective certificants (BACB, 2014). The ABA Supervision Handbook offers a systematic method for training professional behavior analysts to acquire clinical competency. In addition, it provides a means to evaluate ongoing supervisee performance of the skills listed within the 5th edition task list. In doing so, The ABA Supervision Handbook allows for the identification of supervisees’ mastered skills and areas of improvement, helps to structure the supervision experience and operationalize the practice of supervision, provides competency-based measures, and helps fulfill the supervisor's duty to develop ethical and data-based decision-making systems (4.06; BACB, 2020). As a result, organizations and individuals will benefit from improved supervisory practices and training competent, ethical practitioners. This workshop will therefore focus on teaching participants how to use the Handbook to structure, train, and evaluate supervisees’ experiences, including the presentation of scenarios to practice using the competency and ethical decision-making instruments.

Participants will learn to assess the supervisee’s baseline skills
Participants will learn to prioritize core skills
Participants will utilize competency-based assessments
Participants will utilize an ethics flowchart to teach decision making processes
Participants will identify ways to teach and monitor competency for case management skills
