General CEU: From Research to Practice: Seven Acceptance and Commitment Training Practices You Can Begin Using Today

In From Research to Practice: Seven Acceptance and Commitment Training Practices You Can Begin Using Today, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

At present count, there are at least 29 peer reviewed empirical studies using within subject design strategies, 5 conceptual papers, and 4 books written on Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr) used in ABA settings. In this talk, the presenters discuss six ACTr-consistent practices that are within behavior analysts' repertoires. They strongly advocate for graduate schools to begin integrating ACTr and relational frame theory into their course sequences, and offer practical takeaways from the extant empirical literature as a starting point to help the field begin integrating ACTr where doing so could improve clinical outcomes.

What You'll Learn

  1. Identify direct contingency management strategies to use whenever considering supplemental ACTr approaches.
  2. List the seven dimensions of ABA as they pertain to any behavioral intervention, including those that involve ACTr.
  3. Connect skills targeted in an ACTr intervention to relevant BCBA Task List items.
