This workshop highlights areas of research from within and outside of behavior analysis to help foster a community where multiple voices are heard. Additionally\, as a field of behavior analysis\, we need to use our science to provide a contingency analytic framework for fostering belonging. \nThis workshop introduces a comprehensive framework to engage with and support autistic individuals and communities effectively. Participants will gain access to tools for conducting person-centered assessments\, setting individualized goals\, and implementing strength-based interventions to foster genuine community\, social connection\, and a sense of belonging among autistic populations. Strategies for promoting social inclusion and belonging will be presented\, focusing on achieving genuine assent\, tailoring interventions\, and fostering collaborative approaches with families and communities. The tools and strategies discussed will be framed within a compassionate approach to clinical practice and will prioritize inclusive practices for all individuals within the autistic population. \n\nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of this event\, participants should be able to: \n\nIdentify direct and indirect assessment methods for the assessment of autistic student’s belonging.\nIdentify collaborative approaches to person-centered support related to increasing the quantity and quality of social connections in autistic individuals.\nSelect tools and strategies for use in clinical practice which are framed within an assent-based compassionate approach to strength-based treatment for improving social connection and belonging with autistic individuals.Presenter Bios:\n\n \nDr. Kathleen Dyer is an Associate Professor and has served on the faculty of the Institute for Applied Behavioral Studies at Endicott College for the past 11 years.
