Preschool Aba belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter school teams and classroom routines, busy classrooms and teacher-managed routines. In Preschool Aba, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →The Preschool Life Skills (PLS) curriculum is a class-wide teaching program in which 13 social skills in the areas of instruction-following, functional communication, delay tolerance, and friendship skills are taught during daily activities.The teaching program consists of four components: instructions, modeling, role play, and feedback. Each skill is taught by arranging a specific evocative event, and providing behavior-specific feedback for correct and incorrect responses. The PLS curriculum was originally designed and evaluated as a Tier 1 intervention to prevent the development of interfering behavior. However, the curriculum has since been modified and delivered as a Tier 2 (e.g., small group) and Tier 3 (e.g., individual) intervention. The focus of this presentation is to describe the teaching procedures of the curriculum, provide recommendations on how to implement of the curriculum, and explore ways in which the curriculum can be extended to address a variety of skills, learners, and environments while maintaining the effective teaching components. I enjoyed learning about the preschool life skill program that you have researched and implemented. I am hoping to implement it in our school in Mexico. Thank you! This application of BST and the rest of the principles of ABA and RTI have come in so handy as there are so many kids in early years needing to be taught in an inclusive setting yet they learn differently. Adding Preschool Life Skills is just the icing on the cake. I am in a nursery next Friday for set up after observation , excited!!!!!!! This Preschool Life Skills CEU event was the perfect combination of research information and applied use within a preschool setting. The research was explicitly discussed, while also providing examples of the curriculum in action in a classroom setting. Highly recommend for any BCBA or educator working with preschool-aged clients.
