Using the AIM Curriculum for Social-Emotional Development in Students

This session will examine treatment outcomes when implementing the AIM Curriculum across Insight Academy, a separate facility for students with behavioral and social emotional barriers. The AIM Curriculum provides practitioners with a behavior analytic framework to successfully manage behavior, while addressing complex social and emotional barriers. This framework incorporates daily evidence-based mindfulness practices, therapeutic interventions in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
