POAC of PA Willing Learner Workshop - May 7 - Gwynedd Mercy College

[Guest guest]

POAC of PA presents: Creating a Willing Learner

May 7, 2006 6:30 - 9:00 PM

Gwynedd Mercy College: Connelly Center

This workshop is designed for Speech, Physical and Occupational Therapists,

who work with children with autism, as well as parents and other professionals

interested in learning how to help children with autism achieve better

outcomes in occupational, physical, and speech therapy.

The goal of this workshop is to demonstrate effective teaching and

reinforcement methods that will keep the child with autism engaged, responding

and

learning. These methods can be used to teach all kinds of skills and are not

limited to the Verbal Behavior curriculum. Participants will learn how to;

use errorless learning, prompting with transfer procedures, fast paced

teaching, how and when to use reinforcement so that cooperation and effort from

the

child will gradually increase, while preventing and eliminating the presence

of problem behaviors.
