Neurological Behaviorism: The Future of Autism Care is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In The Future of Autism Care, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →As the field of autism service delivery moves toward whole-person, transdisciplinary models of care, a unique opportunity exists to bridge the gap between neurology and behaviorism. In this presentation Dr. Suzanne Goh, pediatric neurologist and BCBA, will discuss a new model of care that draws from the latest research in the fields of neurology and behaviorism. Participants will learn the neurological and behavioral principles underlying a range of evidence-based practices, including natural environment teaching, natural reinforcement, errorless learning, and declarative language instruction. Neurology and behaviorism also come together to generate new frameworks for understanding childhood brain development, which will be reviewed in this webinar. When these two established bodies of knowledge "join forces," superior developmental outcomes become possible. Participants will learn how to incorporate these powerful transdisciplinary techniques in their clinical practice.
