What do I Teach First? What do I teach next?
Presenter: Ray Cepeda, BCBA
This workshop is for teachers in classrooms for children with autism spectrum disorders, parents, home program supervisors, SEITs, consultants, and other therapists that participate in the design and implementation of an individual learner’s curriculum. If you are involved in curriculum development you may ask question s such as, “What comes next?” or “Where do I start this program?” or “he has so many language skills but for some reason he is not using them…why?”. Whether you are using one of the current excellent resources (ABLLS-R, A Work in Progress, VB-MAPP, the IGS curriculum etc.) This workshop will help you understand the relationship between programs across skill domains, as well as, the crucial role of “rate of acquisition” when assessing progress. These additional tools can facilitate identifying programming issues and potentially fix them.
