Special Topics

Does trauma matter? How do we ask about it, honor experience and history, and develop ethical and compassionate assessments and plans? This webinar expands boundaries of competence while providing resources, and real-life examples.

This webinar is targeted for all members of school-based teams that conduct special education evaluations for Autism. In this webinar, participants will learn about strategies and benefits for engaging in interprofessional collaborations with clinical and health providers.

Understanding and possessing the ability to express one’s sexuality can be viewed as a basic human right, yet for many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), this is not a right afforded to them. Traditional relationship development and sex education curriculum is often inaccessible to individuals with ASD, indicating the need for more person-centered programming that considers the strengths and needs of each individual.

This webinar will include interviews and tips from current school administrators and will include topics such as how to support staff training needs, how to help staff individualize programming for students with autism, how to be involved and or lead effective IEP meetings, working with outside providers and more.

This training is designed to provide guidance and problem-solving skills to ABA providers who currently support clients in the school setting, or want to do so. The majority of ABA providers are not teachers, yet there is an increasing need and desire for these very providers to work in the school setting.

Some fundamental questions that will be explored in this training include: What is a BCBA and what is the difference between school-based and clinic-based ABA services? How do you differentiate between FAPE/IEP services and a clinically-based treatment plan?

The differences between the clinic/home and school settings may surprise many ABA providers. Why do schools do the things they do? This is a common question, and what this training will attempt to discuss. There are many points of common ground between school and clinical practice, but there are also some important differences. During this webinar series, we will explore these similarities and differences together.
