Course Description

Interfering behaviors are prevalent among the learners we work with.Understanding why they occur prior to treating it is at the heart of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Ensuring we understand our learners' behavior before we change them and minimizing the probability of escalation is at the heart of compassionate ABA (Hanley 2012; Hanley et al., 2014; Rodriguez et al., 2023). Labels such as "compassionate", "trauma-informed", "assent-based" are not referring to any newly discovered principles in the laboratory. Rather, it is a way for us to tact a set of procedures implemented under various conditions, that are conceptually systematic. ABA is a science, just like biology and physics. This set of knowledge informs us of the principles and processes that have generality across behaviors, settings, and species (Skinner, 1938). The science informs us of the relationship between behaviors and environmental variables so that we can describe, predict, control or influence behaviors. Taking another perspective, compassion is not the heart of the science but a dimension of our service delivery (Penney et al., 2023). We can select socially significant behaviors to address and use experimentation as a prime directive. Effective being the outcome. But at what cost? How we get the data matters. This presentation will discuss the prevalence of interfering behaviors in individuals diagnosed with autism and similar developmental disabilities. Attendees will learn about an alternative technology that focuses on safety, televisibility, and rapport. Attendees will also be given the tools to make the shift towards assent-based and trauma-sensitive approaches to keeping both students and staff safe. The course was very informative and interesting. I would have preferred a few more relevant examples; however, the details and content were well presented with clear explanations. I loved the topic but felt like topics could have been expanded on such as when she was discussing EOs The presentation was outstanding, very thoughtful, covered the most important topics in BA in order to have successful interventions. Amazing, I recommend it to everybody. This was an excellent training. I loved how you likened learning a behavior skill to learning how to ski. It completely made sense. I would love to utilize that analogy as I support teachers in schools with behavior. Thank you! This was all great information.
