Submitted by Dr. Friga on June 7, 2009 – 10:37 pmNo Comment
I are sorry to announce that there are no more seats available in the Summer Autism Clinic scheduled for July 20th-24th. It is exciting to know so many educators are willing to take time from their summer to improve their practices.
If you are interested in hosting a training in your school district or agency, please feel free to download our flyer and current rates:
In this week-long clinic, participants will be taught the general principles of Intensive Teaching and behavior support for children with autism. Topics include discrete trials instruction, structured visual teaching (TEACCH), picture communication (PECS), collecting and using data, as well as the principles of positive behavior support. Each day begins with instruction in teaching methods and then direct work with students in the summer school programs. In the afternoon, participants will receive feedback and additional fine-tuning of methods practiced in the morning.
