Skill-Based Treatment: Behavioral Skills Training and Application in Preschool is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of school teams and classroom routines. In Skill-Based Treatment: Behavioral Skills Training and Application in Preschool, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Skill-Based Treatment (SBT) is an emerging and increasingly adopted approach for addressing severe challenging behavior in individuals with autism and related developmental disabilities. As adoption increases across settings, there is a growing need to evaluate both the training of implementors and the contextual implementation of SBT in applied environments. This symposium presents two talks that address these needs from complementary angles. The first presentation evaluates a Behavioral Skills Training (BST) package designed to teach behavior technicians to implement key components of SBT with fidelity, and assesses the social validity of the training procedures. The second presentation provides a case-based analysis of implementing Practical Functional Assessment (PFA) and SBT in a preschool classroom for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, highlighting real-world treatment progression and collaboration with educational teams.
