Subject: Online Training for Parents and Staff, and Those taking the

It is an exciting time for high quality training in the learning sciences.

At the New School for the Learning Sciences (www.nsls.com), a nonprofit,

Internet-based institution offering advanced training in the learning

sciences from scientists and scholars throughout the world, for parents,

students and learners throughout the world, is now offering QuickStudy

instruction. The NSLS QuickStudy Courses are brief, non-credit intensive

on-line courses taught by individuals who have extensive backgrounds in the

areas presented. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) may be offered for

selected QuickStudy Courses, as indicated in each course description. The

NSLS QuickStudy courses are designed to provide parents, teachers, staff

members, the practicing professional and advanced student a means to attain

***Applied Behavior Analysis and the Treatment of Children: The Real Story

of What It Is and What We Do

A course specifically designed for parents and caregivers of children with

autism and other developmental disabilities to teach specifically what

behavioral principles are and how they are positively and effectively used

to help children at home and in school!

***Behavior Analyst Certification Exam Preparation

This course will help prepare individuals to pass the national behavior

analyst certification exam. The course will address all aspects of applying

for, sitting for, and passing the exam, with an emphasis on content and

strategy. An initial self-test practice exam will be administered and

detailed feedback will be provided to pinpoint individual strengths and

weaknesses in each of the specific exam

content areas. The course will also provide content area reviews and

extensive on-line multiple choice practice items, as well as test-taking

strategies for maximizing one's test score. This is intended as a review of

behavior analysis and assumes prior formal training in the field.

NOW ONLINE:

***Understanding and Treating Behavior Problems: A Course in Staff Training

and Development

Course information and registration can be found at www.nsls.com. You can

take a look at (but not participate in) the course by going to:

http://www.blackboard.com/courses/QKST605/

The purpose of this course is to provide a focused overview of the field of

behavior analysis, with emphases on both the basic science and clinical

application of behavior principles. Students will learn about the

principles of effective behavior change. This course is appropriate for any

individual who wants to learn more about how to use behavior principles

appropriately and effectively, *with emphasis on staff training and

development.* If you are a parent or caregiver of a child with autism or

within the autism spectrum, I would highly encourage you to preregister for

Applied Behavior Analysis and the Treatment of Children: The Real Story of

What It Is and What We Do.

It is exciting to be able to offer such high quality training for parents,

caregivers, staff members, and others interested in really understanding

what behavior analysis is, and how it is used in a positive and effective

manner.

Very truly yours,
