After a few years “on the job” SLPs and BCBAs may be asked to mentor or supervise graduate students, Clinical Fellows, or those pursuing the BCBA credential. Unfortunately, learning how to be a useful and effective mentor was not part of the mentor’s graduate school experience and learning important skills are left to be gained through professional development courses or trial and error.

Presented by Dr. Dan Mitteer

Approximately 94% of caregivers of children with autism report at least one form of challenging behavior (Jang et al., 2011), with 68% reporting severe challenging behavior like aggression or self-injurious behavior (Kanne & Mazurek, 2010). Thus, it is likely that professionals who provide services for individuals with autism will encounter severe challenging behavior. Unfortunately, such severe behavior can pose risks to the client or others, including tissue damage, sprained or broken bones, and concussions. For example, in a survey of registered behavior technicians, 75% of these professionals reported having sustained an injury while managing severe challenging behavior (Columbo et al., 2021). The purpose of this talk is to describe precautions and protective gear that practitioners ought to consider when working with children with severe challenging behavior as well as conceptual or practical limitations that arise from the use of such measures.

Let’s Clear The Air for a Moment

BCBAs WANT to work with other professionals
• Nay, NEED to work with other professionals
•Our training has made us…rigid in the way that we approach our work
• “Evidence-based and THAT’S IT”
• We’ve also ACTIVELY separated ourselves from other sciences
• Natural vs. social science
• The issue of collaboration is often an issue of misguided advocacy for our field AND
decades of cultural influence
• But please know…WE WANT TO WORK WITH EVERYONE

Presented by Carrie Woodward

Many Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are taught how to implement programs but may not fully understand why those programs work. “Beyond the Steps: Understanding the Science Behind Skill Building” bridges that gap by exploring the science behind skill acquisition, focusing on stimulus control, prompting, and prompt fading. This session will provide RBTs with a clearer understanding of how behavior is shaped by environmental cues and how their role is critical in transferring skills to real-world settings. Through relatable examples and practical strategies, participants will gain insight into how their work fosters meaningful progress in the lives of their clients.
