Events & Workshops

This workshop designed to provide behavior analysts, teachers, parents and other clinical staff, working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) a framework for understanding creativity in play from a behavior analytic perspective. The implications of an ASD diagnosis on commonly used (and often ineffective) teaching practices will be highlighted. The workshop will provide participant’s with the opportunity to practice a range of teaching interventions to help establish social play skills. Participants will be provided with video examples, Matrix data sheets, and opportunities to practice developing play schemes in a small group format. The relevant empirical research on Video Modeling, Matrix Training and Picture Activity Schedules will be reviewed.
