National Autism Conference 2019

During this session, we will discuss a variety of assessment practices that can be utilized to assess a wide range of skills from early basic skills to more complex verbal and non-verbal behavior. The focus of the session will be on using assessment data to develop individualized instructional programs that are not only introduced systematically, but are relevant, balanced and at the appropriate level. The presenter will highlight the importance of sequencing instruction in such a way that the learners can acquire the component skills needed to eventually engage in more complex verbal and non-verbal behavior. Curricular sequence, relevant target selection, and establishing adequate performance and acquisition rates will also be addressed. Credits: Act 48, SW, Psych, PT, OT, BACB
