Join Free →This is not a conversation just for behavior analysts. This is an invitation for everyone working with learners with autism. Despite decades of research and implementation, social skills intervention remains distal to the real life needs of autistic learners across the playgrounds, schools, and communities they reside and interact with. Why? Because we have not fully interrogated concepts of practice, social currency, and conversation skill fluency. And the reality is, we don't often know how. In this discussion, Landria will share her insights as a organizational leader, clinician, curriculum developer, and researcher. Drawing on her manualized curriculum Keep the Conversation Going and current research in equity based social skills intervention, Landria will highlight gaps in current models and propose a new direction focused on outcome-aligned and equity-focused interdisciplinary social skills intervention models. "It's important to recognize that the real-world social success cannot rest with a single discipline." This professional learning opportunity is an invitation to educators, learning specialists, speech-language pathologists, and behavior analysts to rethink how we develop targets, provide instruction, facilitate skills, and support social engagement, conversation development, social problem solving. Join Landria as we discuss how to LevelUp social skills intervention practices.
