Workshop - Acceptance and Commitment Training for Behavior Analysts is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of language assessment, teaching sessions, caregiver coaching, and natural communication routines. In Acceptance and Commitment Training for Behavior Analysts, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Acceptance and Commitment Training (or Therapy) has been around for a while within behavior analysis, but how does ACT apply to behavior analysis. Really? The language is significantly different from what behavior analysts are used to. There have been peer reviewed articles claiming that ACT isn't behavior analytic. There have been rebuttals. There have been debates online and in person. So is ACT behavior analytic? Yes! And this course's objective is to make that extremely clear. Join us to learn about how ACT applies to behavior analysis from verbal behavior and self-management to contingency analysis.
