General CEU: Love Is In The Air: Building and Maintaining Client Relationships That Empower Learning

Love Is In The Air: Building and Maintaining Client Relationships That Empower Learning is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of transition planning, adult service routines, vocational programming, and long-term support decisions. In Love Is In The Air: Building and Maintaining Client Relationships That Empower Learning, for this course, the practical stakes show up in skills that remain meaningful when school supports disappear and adult expectations change, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

The excitement of meeting a new client! The beginning of a new relationship is always a defining moment, setting the stage for how the treatment process will go. Pairing, or building rapport, a term frequently used by ABA professionals, refers to the process of establishing and nurturing a positive relationship with a client. This is often the first step in therapy, and it involves focusing on the client's interests and providing them with access to those interests without any conditions. In essence, the therapeutic relationship should begin with minimal demands and maximum rewards. In this training, we will learn how to establish and maintain Instructional control during ABA sessions, even when demands increase and reinforcement is thinned.

What You'll Learn

  1. Prepare for therapeutic success using competency based training.
  2. Maintain rapport with clients while introducing low probability demands.
  3. Build on your established relationship to minimize problem behaviors and increase cooperation.
