Have you ever been teaching goals in the VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, etc., and wondering how you can make these skills more functional? Curious how you can ensure your client is able to engage in appropriate motor imitation, listener responding, and more in a community setting? This CEU course will explore how yoga can serve as a naturalistic and engaging way to target these essential skills while promoting regulation and engagement. Research published in The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) has shown that yoga interventions can help reduce aggression, self-injury, and anxiety in children with ASD while increasing their ability to follow instructions and participate in group activities. By embedding goals into meaningful movement, we can move beyond contrived teaching and help learners apply these skills in real-life situations.
