SUMMARY:2019 Annual Meeting of the Trustees
DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies 2019 Annual Meeting of the Trustees will be following the ABAI 45th Annual Convention held in Chicago\, Illinois. This meeting is open to Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies Trustees\, Advisors\, Supporters and Friends!  All are welcome to attend\, learn more about us\, our leaders\, our mission\, our past year and future plans.\n\nSpecial presentations by:\nClaire St. Peter\, PhD\, BCBA-D\, Associate Professor & Area Coordinator\, Behavior Analysis\, West Virginia University\, “Supporting Teachers as Behavioral Engineers: Creating High-Quality Trainings for School Contexts” \n					Abstract\n					American teachers are increasingly asked to manage difficult behavior in the classroom\, and consistently report feeling unprepared to do so. To have the greatest positive impact on child behavior\, teachers must be able to implement high-quality\, empirically based interventions. Behavior analysts can assist teachers by determining teachers’ skill sets and the fidelity with which teachers implement procedures. These fidelity data can serve as quality indicators as teachers receive additional training. Data from our research group suggests that teachers need frequent training and supports to become successful implementers. To sustain behavior-analytic practice in schools\, our trainings must meet both our quality standards and be “do-able” for school districts. I will describe three ways that behavior analysts can adapt well-established behavioral skills training to increase our impact in educational contexts.\n				 \nEric V. Larsson\, PhD\, LP\, BCBA-D\, Executive Director\, Lovaas Institute Midwest Executive Director\, Lovaas Institute Midwest\, “Organizational Behavior Management Systems that Support Progressive Individualized Applied Behavior Analysis” \n					Abstract\n					Comprehensive ABA treatment at the Lovaas Institute Midwest is recovery oriented. Complete recovery is a challenging goal that requires all of the core features of Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention to be delivered at their optimum levels. These core features are: Early Intervention; Intensive Intervention; Remediation of all Diagnostic Aspects of Autism; Training Parents to Independence; Individualization; Dynamic Programming; and Accountable Treatment. Two crucial features are Early Intervention and Individualization. What this means is that the organization must be geared to efficiently identify and develop the most significant objectives for each different child in as short a time frame as possible The most efficient objectives will result in mastery of essential behavior that is genuinely generalized to all relevant natural interactions and maintained without the need for artificial interventions. There is also a risk that over-training in restricted contexts will not only fail to generalize or maintain\, but will impair the likelihood of future generalization or maintenance. To meet these needs\, the organizational management system is designed to ensure that the performance of all team members\, parents\, and supervisors is optimal and accountable on a daily\, weekly\, six-month\, and overall basis. Key measures focus on generative responding\, acceleration toward single-trial mastery\, recombinative generalization\, and naturalization. A multi-layered matrix training system enables the management of the complex task analysis in the most effective manner. Throughout all of this task analysis and program management\, the fundamental concern is contingency management. The behavior must be part of an effective schedule of reinforcement\, that is highly managed to ensure that the reinforcement is as natural as possible\, as minimal as possible\, and as generalized as possible to all of the child’s natural social interactions 24 hours a day\, 7 days a week. Cost-effective staff training and management is also a fundamental concern\, and so the system utilizes a data collection system that enables timely decision making\, to both increase effectiveness when individual acquisition is challenging\, and reduce the artificial training parameters as quickly as possible without impairing generalization or maintenance. This staff training and management system is referred to as dynamic programming. \n				 \nThe Chicago School of Professional Psychology (TCS) has graciously offered to host our meeting.  TCS is a short distance from the ABAI Annual Convention headquarter hotels.

SUMMARY:ABACLive Webinar with Dr. Thomas Zane
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the ABACLive Cambridge Center Series. Helping those who help others\, one live webinar at a time. \nDr. Thomas Zane presents: “The Ethics of Supervision:\nBeing Responsible for the Shaping of Registered Behavior Technicians” \nWednesday\, May 8\, 2019\n6:00 – 9:00 pm (Eastern) This event includes a one-hour interactive “Tom Zane Answers Your Supervision Questions” \nThis event is FREE for the general public.* \nRegister on ABAC Website \nAbstract \nApplied behavior analysis has shown its worth in the treatment of autism and other developmental disabilities\, as well in other areas of human endeavor. A competent behavior analyst must certainly understand the academic and conceptual foundations and principles of our field\, but also must be able to competently implement behavior analytic practices. Although academic preparation may have some indirect influence on competent practice\, it is the role of supervision that fundamentally and most directly impacts the shaping of good quality behavioral practice. This webinar will explore the importance of behavioral supervision at the individual\, field\, and conceptual level\, as well as provide examples of both good and poor supervisory practices. The impact of supervision on the future of applied behavior analysis will be explored\, starting with the hypothesis that if our field is to survive and maintain its current strong and positive reputation in society\, the quality of behavioral supervision being provided to behaviorists-in-training must be ethical\, based on research findings\, and a high quality of competence. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of this presentation the participants will be able to: \n\n\nDescribe the importance of good behavioral supervision at the individual\, field\, and conceptual level\nDescribe the components of quality supervision\nProvide examples of both good and poor supervisory practices\nProvide at least 5 specific strategies that supervisors can implement to increase the chances of providing quality behavioral supervision\nDescribe the new regulations regarding supervision of registered behavior technicians\n\n\n*This event is FREE for the general public.

Autism impacts families substantially\, and service providers must prioritize the family’s needs as well as those of the individual with ASD. Barriers to effective treatment include inadequate understanding of family impact\, selecting interventions that the family will not succeed in implementing\, and conveying judgement in the context of treatment. In this talk\, we will review familial impact of autism\, discuss the gaps in treatment/service delivery\, and focus on enhancing outcomes by increasing compassionate care. Operational definitions of compassionate skills will be offered\, along with suggestions for teaching and training such skills to service providers. \nObjectives: \n\nAttendees will describe the impact of having a special needs child in the family\nAttendees will list the main skills involved in providing compassionate care to families of learners with ASD and other special needs\nAttendees will be introduced to strategies for teaching compassionate care skills to trainees and supervisees.\n\nPresenter Bio:\nMary Jane Weiss\, PhD\, BCBA-D is a Professor at Endicott College\, where she directs the Master’s Program in ABA and Autism. Dr. Weiss has worked in the field of ABA and Autism for almost 30 years. She received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers University in 1990 and she became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2000. She previously worked for 16 years at the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center at Rutgers University\, where she served as Director of Research and Training and as Clinical Director. Her clinical and research interests center on defining best practice ABA techniques\, evaluating the impact of ABA in learners with autism\, teaching social skills to learners with autism\, training staff to be optimally effective at instruction\, and maximizing family members’ expertise and adaptation. \n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Thomas Zane\, PhD\, BCBA-D - Selling Hype or Giving Hope: Science and Pseudoscience in Autism \n				Selling Hype or Giving Hope: Science and Pseudoscience in Autism \nGet PDF of Dr. Zane’s Presentation.\nAbstract:\nAutism treatment has long been known as a ‘fad magnet’ that attracts well-vetted empirically-based effective treatments\, but unfortunately\, also attracts ill-advised\, ineffective\, and unethical treatments. Parents and caregivers seek effective ways of teaching skills\, maximizing independence\, and improving the quality of life for individuals with autism. They assume those professionals who have degrees\, certifications\, and visibility in the field know what they are doing\, and believe the hype and marketing that service providers disseminate about the methods they use. The proponents of all autism treatments assert that their treatments will work. They want parents and caregivers to be hopeful that their particular treatments will meet the goals and desires of those seeking treatment. However\, the fact is that some treatment providers can only provide the hype without also delivering the effective outcomes of their therapy. Hype is freely given. Real hope\, gleaned from evidenced-based strategies that produce objectively-measured positive outcomes\, is harder to come by. \nObjectives:\nAt the conclusion of this talk\, the audience will be able to: \n\nDefine science and pseudoscience;\nDescribe the differences between the two and give examples of each;\nDescribe criteria for evaluating treatments so that science-based treatments are selected and treatments based on pseudoscience will be rejected;\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Thomas Zane is the Director of Online Behavior Analysis programs in the Department of Applied Behavioral Science at the University of Kansas. Dr. Zane earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in psychology at Western Michigan University and his doctorate in Applied Behavior Analysis at West Virginia University.

To address these deficits\, there are a myriad of social skills interventions available to the behavior analyst. One of these interventions are behaviorally based social skills groups. Behaviorally based social skills are opportunities for three or more children to come together and learn a variety of social behaviors through behavioral intervention. In this talk the presenter will describe various aspects of behaviorally based social skills groups including curriculum\, teaching procedures\, staff\, and staff training. Additionally\, the presenter will go over the research on behaviorally based social skills groups for individuals diagnosed with ASD. \nObjectives:\nAt the conclusion of the workshop\, the participants will be able to: \n\nidentify and describe five characteristics of quality staff.\nidentify and describe at least two commonly used social skills interventions for individuals diagnosed with ASD that can be implemented in a social skills group.\ndescribe three different social curricula and how to teach that curricula using behavioral intervention.\n\nPresenter Bio:\nJustin Leaf\, Ph.D.\, is the Director of Research and Training for Autism Partnership Foundation.

The founder of contemporary behavior analysis\, B. F. Skinner\, wrote “We make important aspects of behavior visible. Once this has happened\, our scientific practice is reduced to simple looking.” Skinner discovered the very principles of behavior through visual analysis. Skinner and his colleagues would go to continue to uncover vital aspects of behavior that serve as the foundation for the science of behavior. When behavior analysis moves from the laboratory to applied settings\, Skinner’s beloved cumulative recorder did not make the journey. Behavior analysts instead adopted a nonstandard linear graph to monitor\, analyze\, interpret\, and communicate experimental and applied data. However\, research demonstrates several thorny issues with the construction and analysis of data from nonstandard linear graphs. The research reveals problems including rampant violations of line graph construction rules\, low levels of reliability detecting effects\, misjudgments of effects based on scale manipulations\, and erratic functional relation determinations based on axis size proportions. Do behavior analysts have a moral obligation to use a visual display that works in the best interest of their clients? The following presentation offers data and invites participants to reflect on the importance of graphical design features\, analytical effectiveness\, and options for visually displaying data. \nObjectives:\n\nParticipants will state how rescaled data affects the interpretation of visually displayed data.\nParticipants will compare the difference between standard and nonstandard graphical displays of data.\nParticipants will state the link between visual displays of data and visual analysis.\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Richard (Rick) Kubina is a Professor of special education at The Pennsylvania State University and co-founder of Chartlytics. Chartlytics merged with CentralReach where Kubina also serves as the director of research. Kubina has published multiple research articles\, books\, and book chapters on evidence-based education and measurement of student progress. He was the past Editor of the Journal of Precision Teaching & Celeration. Kubina works with school districts\, health care professionals\, and coaches and athletes using Precision Teaching\, effective practice methods\, and other measurably superior educational programs. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tim Courtney\, MS\, BCBA - Looking Through a Different Lens: Educational and Medical Models of Intervention for Individuals with Autism\n				Looking Through a Different Lens: Educational and Medical Models of Intervention for Individuals with Autism\nGet PDF of Dr. Courtney’s Presentation\nAbstract:\nIndividuals with autism often present with complex needs. These needs may impair the individual’s ability to access multiple settings. Interventions to address these impairments are often both medically and educationally necessary. Due to the comprehensive nature of intervention\, this also provides a unique opportunity for clinical and educational experts to coordinate. In this presentation\, I will review the definition of educational and medical necessity. We will also explore opportunities for collaboration. We will also explore potential barriers and brainstorm strategies. The presentation also includes stories highlighting situations in which both clinical and educational teams have coordinated to achieve significant outcomes. \nObjectives:\n\nAttendees will distinguish between educational and medical necessity\nAttendees will identify opportunities and strategies for coordination of educational and medical intervention\nAttendees will analyze potential barriers to coordination and determine potential interventions\n\nPresenter Bio:\nTim Courtney is foremost a behavior analyst who is passionate about the science of human behavior. His journey began with a chance meeting with a friend who explained her career as a behavior analyst. Tim was instantly intrigued\, as this role was well aligned with his value for effective intervention. Highly motivated\, he then quickly completed the coursework requirements to get his Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst® (BCaBA®) certification. Shortly thereafter\, Tim enrolled in the Master of Applied Behavior Analysis program at Florida Institute of Technology. He had the amazing opportunity to work in several diverse settings: public schools\, residential programs\, center-based programs\, and in private and group homes.

SUMMARY:ABACLive Webinar with Dr. T.V. Joe Layng
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the ABACLive Cambridge Center Series. Helping those who help others\, one live webinar at a time. \nDr. T.V. Joe Layng presents: “NCA: Was the Future of Clinical Behavior Analysis Discovered 40 Years Ago?” \nWednesday\, April 17\, 2019\n6:00 – 8:00 pm (Eastern) \nThis event is FREE for the general public.* \nRegister on ABAC Website \nAbstract \nOver the past several years\, evidence-based therapies such as CBT\, ACT\, FAP\, and others\, have become increasingly popular. While differing in their procedures\, they all share a common characteristic: they largely rely on what may be considered linear analyses and topical interventions. A different approach is described here that has the potential to add to the therapist’s analytical tool box. In contrast to the more common therapies\, it is derived from nonlinear (consequential) contingency analysis (NCA) and offers the possibility of systemic as well as topical interventions. NCA and its developmental history\, previously described by Layng (2009)\, is the result of decades-long research\, much of which was conducted at the University of Chicago by Israel Goldiamond\, his colleagues\, and students over 40 years ago. This webinar provides an introductory exploration and explanation of nonlinear contingency analysis illustrated with case studies often found among the most challenging. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of this presentation the participants will be able to: \n\n\n\nDistinguish between pathological and constructional approaches to clinical practice. \n\n\nDistinguish between linear and nonlinear analysis in clinical practice. \n\n\nParticipants will distinguish between topical and systemic interventions clinical practice \n\n\n\n*This event is FREE for the general public.

SUMMARY:ABACLive Webinar with E. Scott Geller\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the ABACLive Cambridge Center Series. Helping those who help others\, one live webinar at a time. \nDr. E. Scott Geller presents: “Actively Caring for People” \nWednesday\, February 13\, 2019\n6:00 – 8:00 pm (Eastern) \nThis event is FREE for the general public.* \nRegister on ABAC Website \nAbstract \nSeven evidence-based guidelines for improving the quality and increasing the frequency of actively-caring-for-people (AC4P) behavior will be described and illustrated as relevant for benefiting human welfare and well-being throughout a culture. If practiced extensively\, these life lessons would most assuredly improve overall quality of life by supporting diversity and interdependency\, fostering civility and win/win collaboration\, and increasing the occurrence of prosocial behavior. \nThe first four life lessons reflect the applied behavioral science principles of positive reinforcement\, observational learning\, and behavior-based feedforward and feedback. The subsequent three life lessons are derived from humanism\, and not typically considered by applied behavior analysts. Techniques for operationalizing these humanistic guidelines will be explained to demonstrate the social validity of integrating select principles from humanism with behaviorism. The result: humanistic behaviorism—the application of select humanistic fundamentals to make behaviorism more acceptable\, effective\, and sustainable on a large scale. Our mission: to cultivate and sustain an AC4P culture. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of this presentation the participants will be able to: \n\n\nExplain the critical connection between seven life lessons from psychological science and bringing the best out of yourself and others.\nDefine the advantages of a success-seeking over a failure-avoiding mindset.\nDistinguish between feedforward and feedback as behavior-improvement techniques.\nList and demonstrate five levels of interpersonal listening\, and explain their relevance to achieving and sustaining an AC4P culture.\nIncrease the perception of empowerment and self-motivation within oneself and others.\nDefine self-transcendence and its connection to actively caring for people and the Actively Caring for People (AC4P) Movement—www.activelycaringpeople.org.\nDerive some ways to increase occurrences of AC4P behavior.\n\n\n*This event is FREE for the general public.

SUMMARY:ABACLive Webinar with Dr. A. Charles Catania
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the ABACLive Cambridge Center Series. Helping those who help others\, one live webinar at a time. \nDr. A. Charles Catania presents: \n“The Evolution of a Science and Its Applications: A Brief History of Behavior Analysis” \nTuesday\, August 28\, 2018\n10:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern) \nThis event is FREE for the general public.* \nRegister on ABAC Website \nAbstract \nThis journey through the history of our science will explore its conceptual origins\, its founders\, its cultural contexts\, and\, most importantly\, the co-evolution of its basic and applied research. Your tour guide during this two-hour event will be Professor A. Charles Catania\, a witness to some of the later parts of this history. The stops along the way will include: Precursors\, from the Big Bang through the origins of life on earth to the 19th century: Darwin\, Thorndike and other predecessors. \nThe 1900s: Behavior emerges as a subject matter (Pavlov\, Jennings and others). \nThe 1910s: Watson’s “Behaviorist Manifesto” and World War I. \nThe 1920s: Hull\, Tolman and other learning theorists\, and the Great Depression. \nThe 1930s: Skinner joins Keller at Harvard and later writes “The Behavior of Organisms.” \nThe 1940s: World War II leads to shaping\, “Walden Two\,” and other innovations. \nThe 1950s: From “Science and Human Behavior” to “Verbal Behavior” and “Schedules of Reinforcement\,” in the context of the Cold War and Sputnik; SEAB and JEAB are founded. \nThe 1960s: The science grows despite the cognitive-behavioral culture wars\, JABA is founded\, and behavior analysis develops its own organizations: applications grow alongside basic work (e.g.\, “psychotic children\,” time out\, teaching machines\, token economies). \nThe 1970s: Psychopharmacology and other applications of the science aid in the foundation of programs\, international extensions grow\, and the field\, with its roots in psychology\, begins to see a viable future outside of it. \nThe 1980s: Treatments of self-injurious behavior and other developmental issues become sufficiently recognized that they establish conditions for credentialing and other professional extensions. \nThe 1990s: Though behavior analysis thrives only in cultural niches\, the explosion of applications brings increasing recognition to its achievements. \nThe 21st Century: We’ve seen some of it already; so where do we go from here? \nLearning Objectives: \nAfter attending this event\, participants should be able to: \n\nDescribe how such basic concepts as reinforcement and the operant evolved and played a role in the expanding influence of behavior analysis.\nDiscuss how basic and applied dimensions of behavior analysis evolved in combination in the early history of the field\, then separated mainly for practical reasons (e.g.\, different editorial considerations in the journals JEAB and JABA)\, and eventually came back together to provide reciprocal benefits to each other in translational studies and in the basic questions raised by applications.\nIdentify contributions of major founders of behavior analysis\, including Keller\, Skinner Schoenfeld\, Ferster and Sidman\, among many others.\n\nPresenter Bio: \nCharles Catania is Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)\, where he co-founded the MA track in Applied Behavior Analysis in the Human Services Psychology program.  He is Past-President of the Association for Behavior Analysis and of Division 25 of the American Psychological Association. He has been Editor of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior​ and Associate Editor for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior for the journal\, ​Behavioral and Brain Sciences​.  He is author of more than 200 journal articles and chapters\, and his books include ​Learning​\, now in its 5​th​ edition\, Variations and Selections​ (co-edited with Philip N.

It will also provide a recommended checklist for ABA practitioners on how to trouble shoot treatment failures. \nObjectives\nAttendees will: \n\nIdentify the essential features of evidence based practice and explain how this model can be incorporated into ABA practice\nDescribe what is a treatment failure and why is it important to develop strategies to detect and trouble shoot treatment failures\nSelect and use behavioral data and visual displays to monitor clinical progress\nDescribe a recommended sequence of strategies to detect and trouble shoot treatment failures\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Wayne Fuqua earned his Ph.D. at the University of Florida.  He is currently a Professor of Psychology at Western Michigan University where he chaired the Psychology Department for 14 years.  He teaches graduate level courses in behavioral research methods\, ethics\, behavioral approaches to treatment and health psychology.  He also mentors graduate students in Clinical Psychology and Behavior Analysis.  He conducts research across a range of areas including health psychology\, ethics\, and developmental disabilities.  A Fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis\, Dr. Fuqua has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and has over 150 presentations at national and regional conferences.  He has collaborated with researchers from WMU’s Sociology and Philosophy Departments on two NSF-funded projects on research ethics.  He is actively involved with a number of community-based agencies that provide services to individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental and physical disabilities.  He is a member of the Michigan Autism Council\, a group that is charged with implementing and evaluating a state-wide plan to improve the quality and availability of autism services in the State of Michigan.  He was recently honored with a Distinguished Service Award from Western Michigan University. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Peter F. Gerhardt\, EdD\n				The Seven Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis: Adult Outcomes in ASD and the Roots of Behavior Analytic Practice\nDownload Presentation/Slides (PDF)\n\nBaer\, Wolf and Risley (1968)\, noted that competently applied behavior analytic interventions should result in strong\, socially important\, and generalizable outcomes which\, in the case of autism intervention\, should mean positive adult outcomes in ASD. Unfortunately\, despite an emphasis on evidence-based intervention in ASD\, adult outcomes remain poor “for almost any outcome you choose.” (Roux\, et al\, 2015\, p. 8).  While there may be several reasons for such continued poor outcomes\, the potential for the science of Applied Behavior Analysis to support more positive adult outcomes has yet to be fully explored or realized despite\, seemingly\, being well within our reach. Using Baer\, Wolf and Risley’s (1968) Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis as the basis for the discussion\, this presentation will provide an overview as to the extent to which ABA-based intervention can be seen as congruent with The Dimensions\, where there appears to be some divergence\, and the impact of both on achieving strong\, socially important outcomes in ASD. \nObjectives:\n\nDiscuss the current adult outcome research in ASD\nIdentify a minimum of 3 common practices that have little\, if any\, empirical support in the literature\nDiscuss the importance of socially important outcomes and social validity with reference to ABA-based intervention\nDiscuss the extent to which framing long term intervention goals in terms of the 7 Dimensions is both appropriate and necessary if behavior analysts are effectively address the current discrepancy between individual potential and outcome for adults with ASD\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Wayne Fuqua earned his PhD at the University of Florida.  He is currently a Professor of Psychology at Western Michigan University where he chaired the Psychology Department for 14 years.  He teaches graduate level courses in behavioral research methods\, ethics\, behavioral approaches to treatment and health psychology.  He also mentors graduate students in Clinical Psychology and Behavior Analysis.  He conducts research across a range of areas including health psychology\, ethics\, and developmental disabilities.  A Fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis\, Dr. Fuqua has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and has over 150 presentations at national and regional conferences.  He has collaborated with researchers from WMU’s Sociology and Philosophy Departments on two NSF-funded projects on research ethics.  He is actively involved with a number of community-based agencies that provide services to individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental and physical disabilities.  He is a member of the Michigan Autism Council\, a group that is charged with implementing and evaluating a state-wide plan to improve the quality and availability of autism services in the State of Michigan.  He was recently honored with a Distinguished Service Award from Western Michigan University. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Justin Leaf\, PhD\, BCBA-D\n				Avoiding Pseudoscientific and Non-Evidence Based Procedures Like Social Thinking® and Social Stories™: Making Correct Ethical Decisions\nDownload PDF of Dr. Leaf’s Presentation\n\n  \nThere are a multitude of social skills interventions propagated for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Most of these interventions have limited empirical evidence demonstrating their effectiveness\, fail to meet the standards of evidenced based practices (EBPs)\, and are pseudo- or anti-scientific. Two of these procedures that are commonly implemented at Social Thinking® and Social Stories™. The purpose of this talk is to provide an overview of what constitutes EBPs and evaluate common interventions with respect to these standards. Additionally\, we will evaluate if Social Thinking® and Social Stories™ meet the standards of evidence based practice and empirically supported procedures. Third\, we will provide the audience with alternatives that are grounded in science\, that have empirical support\, and which would be considered an evidence-based practice. Throughout\, we will discuss the roles of adhering to ethics when selecting and implementing interventions for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. \nObjectives\n\nThe attendees will identify the components that constitute evidence based practices\nThe attendees will identify how the ethical code should guide our decisions in selecting interventions for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder\nThe attendees will identify three ways how Social Thinking® and Social Stories™ are inconsistent with our ethical code\n\nPresenter Bio:\nJustin Leaf\, PhD\, is the Director of Research and Training for Autism Partnership Foundation.

Providers of school\, residential and day program services may find it difficult to effectively serve some individuals with serious behavior problems because of potential threats to other individuals and staff.  This presentation will discuss the ethical considerations that must be addressed by any provider attempting to serve individuals with severe behavior problems. After discussing basic precepts that inform a fundamental approach to assessing and treating behavior problems\, the following areas that pose ethical concerns will be discussed: systemic issues\, prerequisite issues\, due process issues\, intervention issues\, safeguard issues\, quality control issues\, and experimental issues. \nObjectives\n\nParticipants will identify three basic precepts that inform an approach to treating severe behavior problems\nParticipants will identify fundamental prerequisite conditions that must be in place to assess and treat severe behavior problems\nParticipants will describe due process protections\, and intervention pitfalls that constitute ethical issues\nParticipants will describe safeguards\, quality control\, and experimental considerations\, and systemic considerations\n\nPresenter Bio:\nTerry Page received a Ph.D. in psychology from Western Michigan University.

It will also provide a recommended checklist for ABA practitioners on how to trouble shoot treatment failures. \nObjectives\nAttendees will: \n\nIdentify the essential features of evidence based practice and explain how this model can be incorporated into ABA practice\nDescribe what is a treatment failure and why is it important to develop strategies to detect and trouble shoot treatment failures\nSelect and use behavioral data and visual displays to monitor clinical progress\nDescribe a recommended sequence of strategies to detect and trouble shoot treatment failures\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Wayne Fuqua earned his Ph.D. at the University of Florida.  He is currently a Professor of Psychology at Western Michigan University where he chaired the Psychology Department for 14 years.  He teaches graduate level courses in behavioral research methods\, ethics\, behavioral approaches to treatment and health psychology.  He also mentors graduate students in Clinical Psychology and Behavior Analysis.  He conducts research across a range of areas including health psychology\, ethics\, and developmental disabilities.  A Fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis\, Dr. Fuqua has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and has over 150 presentations at national and regional conferences.  He has collaborated with researchers from WMU’s Sociology and Philosophy Departments on two NSF-funded projects on research ethics.  He is actively involved with a number of community-based agencies that provide services to individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental and physical disabilities.  He is a member of the Michigan Autism Council\, a group that is charged with implementing and evaluating a state-wide plan to improve the quality and availability of autism services in the State of Michigan.  He was recently honored with a Distinguished Service Award from Western Michigan University. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Peter F. Gerhardt\, EdD\n				The Seven Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis: Adult Outcomes in ASD and the Roots of Behavior Analytic Practice\nDownload PDF of Dr. Gerhardt’s Presentation\n\n  \nAbstract\nBaer\, Wolf and Risley (1968)\, noted that competently applied behavior analytic interventions should result in strong\, socially important\, and generalizable outcomes which\, in the case of autism intervention\, should mean positive adult outcomes in ASD. Unfortunately\, despite an emphasis on evidence-based intervention in ASD\, adult outcomes remain poor “for almost any outcome you choose.” (Roux\, et al\, 2015\, p. 8).  While there may be several reasons for such continued poor outcomes\, the potential for the science of Applied Behavior Analysis to support more positive adult outcomes has yet to be fully explored or realized despite\, seemingly\, being well within our reach. Using Baer\, Wolf and Risley’s (1968) Some Current Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis as the basis for the discussion\, this presentation will provide an overview as to the extent to which ABA-based intervention can be seen as congruent with The Dimensions\, where there appears to be some divergence\, and the impact of both on achieving strong\, socially important outcomes in ASD. \nObjectives:\n\nDiscuss the current adult outcome research in ASD\nIdentify a minimum of 3 common practices that have little\, if any\, empirical support in the literature\nDiscuss the importance of socially important outcomes and social validity with reference to ABA-based intervention\nDiscuss the extent to which framing long term intervention goals in terms of the 7 Dimensions is both appropriate and necessary if behavior analysts are effectively address the current discrepancy between individual potential and outcome for adults with ASD\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Wayne Fuqua earned his PhD at the University of Florida.  He is currently a Professor of Psychology at Western Michigan University where he chaired the Psychology Department for 14 years.  He teaches graduate level courses in behavioral research methods\, ethics\, behavioral approaches to treatment and health psychology.  He also mentors graduate students in Clinical Psychology and Behavior Analysis.  He conducts research across a range of areas including health psychology\, ethics\, and developmental disabilities.  A Fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis\, Dr. Fuqua has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and has over 150 presentations at national and regional conferences.  He has collaborated with researchers from WMU’s Sociology and Philosophy Departments on two NSF-funded projects on research ethics.  He is actively involved with a number of community-based agencies that provide services to individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental and physical disabilities.  He is a member of the Michigan Autism Council\, a group that is charged with implementing and evaluating a state-wide plan to improve the quality and availability of autism services in the State of Michigan.  He was recently honored with a Distinguished Service Award from Western Michigan University. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Justin Leaf\, PhD\, BCBA-D\n				Avoiding Pseudoscientific and Non-Evidence Based Procedures Like Social Thinking® and Social Stories™: Making Correct Ethical Decisions\nDownload PDF of Dr. Leaf’s Presentation\n\n  \nAbstract\nThere are a multitude of social skills interventions propagated for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Most of these interventions have limited empirical evidence demonstrating their effectiveness\, fail to meet the standards of evidenced based practices (EBPs)\, and are pseudo- or anti-scientific. Two of these procedures that are commonly implemented at Social Thinking® and Social Stories™. The purpose of this talk is to provide an overview of what constitutes EBPs and evaluate common interventions with respect to these standards. Additionally\, we will evaluate if Social Thinking® and Social Stories™ meet the standards of evidence based practice and empirically supported procedures. Third\, we will provide the audience with alternatives that are grounded in science\, that have empirical support\, and which would be considered an evidence-based practice. Throughout\, we will discuss the roles of adhering to ethics when selecting and implementing interventions for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. \nObjectives\n\nThe attendees will identify the components that constitute evidence based practices\nThe attendees will identify how the ethical code should guide our decisions in selecting interventions for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder\nThe attendees will identify three ways how Social Thinking® and Social Stories™ are inconsistent with our ethical code\n\nPresenter Bio:\nJustin Leaf\, PhD\, is the Director of Research and Training for Autism Partnership Foundation.

Page\, PhD\, BCBA-D\n				Ethical Considerations in Treating Severe Behavior Problems\nDownload PDF of Dr. Page’s Presentation\n\n  \nAbstract\nMany individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities exhibit unwanted behaviors.  Noncompliance\, verbal outbursts\, aggression\, self-injury\, property destruction\, and general agitation can pose significant problems.  These behaviors can be difficult to understand\, and can pose a threat to programming\, as well as integration into community settings. Providers of school\, residential and day program services may find it difficult to effectively serve some individuals with serious behavior problems because of potential threats to other individuals and staff.  This presentation will discuss the ethical considerations that must be addressed by any provider attempting to serve individuals with severe behavior problems. After discussing basic precepts that inform a fundamental approach to assessing and treating behavior problems\, the following areas that pose ethical concerns will be discussed: systemic issues\, prerequisite issues\, due process issues\, intervention issues\, safeguard issues\, quality control issues\, and experimental issues. \nObjectives\n\nParticipants will identify three basic precepts that inform an approach to treating severe behavior problems\nParticipants will identify fundamental prerequisite conditions that must be in place to assess and treat severe behavior problems\nParticipants will describe due process protections\, and intervention pitfalls that constitute ethical issues\nParticipants will describe safeguards\, quality control\, and experimental considerations\, and systemic considerations\n\nPresenter Bio:\nTerry Page received a Ph.D. in psychology from Western Michigan University.

SUMMARY:ABACLive Webinar with Dr. William Ahearn
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the ABACLive Cambridge Center Series. Helping those who help others\, one live webinar at a time. \nDr. William Ahearn presents: \n“Best Practices in Autism Treatment: From Stereotypy to Social Skills” \nThursday\, July 12\, 2018\n6:30 pm – 8:30 pm Eastern \nThis event is FREE for the general public.* \nRegister on ABAC Website \nIntensive behavior analytic intervention for young children diagnosed with autism can produce large gains in social\, cognitive\, and language development. One critical area to address is repetitive behavior such as stereotypy. Some applied research on evaluating and treating stereotypic behavior will be reviewed\, focusing on effective interventions for building core adaptive living and social skills\, in addition to procedures for treating stereotypic behavior directly. Response Interruption and Redirection (RIRD) research for treating stereotypy has shown that many variations of this procedure can be effective even with individuals with limited vocal\, verbal skills. Variations of the procedure and when they are most appropriate will be discussed along with videos depicting the procedure. This presentation will also describe automatic reinforcement as a concept briefly and repetitive behavior associated with anxiety.  However\, the primary focus will be on problem behavior that is automatically reinforced and the challenges in altering response hierarchies in a pragmatic manner. \nLearning Objectives: \nAfter attending this event\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe characteristics of autism such as stereotypy as they relate to effective treatment with best practice procedures.\nDescribe response interruption and redirection procedures as they relate to effective treatment for stereotypy.\nDescribe skill building procedures as they relate to effective treatment for stereotypy.\nDescribe social skill procedures as they relate to effective treatment for stereotypy.\n\nPresenter Bio: \nBill Ahearn joined The New England Center for Children® in August 1996\, and serves as the Director of Research.  He is also Adjunct Faculty in Western New England University’s masters and doctoral programs. Bill was named the 2009 American Psychological Association – Division 25 awardee for Enduring Contributions to Applied Behavioral Research.  His work has been published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis\, Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior\, Behavioral Interventions\, Behavior Modification\, The Lancet\, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders and has written book chapters on teaching children with autism and pediatric feeding problems in children with autism.  Bill is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Behavioral Interventions and serves on several Editorial Boards.

SUMMARY:Live Webinar Featuring Dr. T.V. Joe Layng\, Co-founder and Chief Scientist at Change Partner
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the ABACLive Cambridge Center Series. Helping those who help others\, one live webinar at a time. \nDr. Layng presents: \n“The Contingency Analysis of Emotions and Emotional Behavior: Implications for the Clinic and Everyday Life” \nREGISTER ≫ \nAbstract: Whereas emotional behavior can easily be included in a behavior analytic account\, emotion as private experience has proven much more difficult. Accordingly\, emotions and emotional appear to be elusive topics. When addressed\, they are often categorized as either Pavlovian or respondent reactions\, the result of physiological changes\, as a by-product of social labeling\, a by-product of operant behavior\, or as private stimuli that may act as triggering events of some type. The problem of “private” emotion as described by Skinner (1953\, 1963\, 1974) and Wittgenstein (1953) is discussed and a possible solution provided. This solution is based upon an approach first described by Israel Goldiamond (1979) which treats private emotions as indicators or descriptors of consequential contingencies. Emotions may also be treated in a broader context as either basic or social\, with the defining differences being the types of contingencies described. Once “made public\,” however\, emotions may become “emotional behavior\,” maintained by its consequences. Patients may be taught to be more sensitive to their emotions\, and that they are the normal outcomes of consequential contingencies\, they are not maladaptive\, or something to simply be accepted. The approach is consistent with laboratory\, ethological\, and evolutionary observations and has uniquely provided a successful approach to treating emotional behavior in animals other than human. \nLearning Objectives: After attending this event\, participants should be able to: \n\nDescribe the problem posed by private emotions as opposed to emotional behavior.\nIdentify two types of distancing contingencies described by fear and anger\, and two types of nearing contingencies and state the paradox of positive emotions.\nDistinguish between basic\, social\, and societal emotions and their relation to the consequential contingencies they describe.\nDescribe the necessity of disentangling emotions from emotional behavior and the clinical implications of each.\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Layng cofounded and serves as Chief Scientist at ChangePartner\, which applies advanced\, systemic behavior analytics and mobile technology to improving hospital patient care and outcomes. He also co-founded and is a partner in Generategy\, LLC\, which produces advanced educational apps for the iOS platform. \nIn 1999 Dr. Layng co-founded Headsprout\, now a part of a Learning A-Z. He led the scientific team that developed the technology that forms the basis of the patented Early Reading and Reading Comprehension programs\, for which he was the chief architect. Dr. Layng was Headsprout’s Senior Scientist and has over 40 years of experience in the experimental and applied learning/behavioral sciences with a particular focus on the design of instruction and systemic clinical intervention. \nDr. Layng earned his Ph.D. in Behavioral Sciences (Biopsychology) at the University of Chicago where he collaborated on research investigating the production of untrained complex symbolic repertoires recruited from simpler behavioral components\, contingency adduction\, which led to some of the key elements upon which Generative Instruction technology is based. Working with pigeons\, he investigated animal models of psychopathology\, specifically the recurrence of pathological patterns (head-banging) as a function of normal behavioral processes. Dr. Layng has considerable experience in clinical behavior analysis and continue to be interested in this area. \nIn the 1990s\, Dr. Layng was the Director of the Academic Support Center\, and then Dean of Public Agency and Special Training Programs at Malcolm X College in Chicago. He has published extensively\, including a widely read paper on Generative Instruction\, which appeared in the American Psychologist. He is currently a scientific advisor to the DOE supported Center on Innovations in Learning\, a Fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis International\, and a member of the Board of Trustees of TCS Education System\, Pacific Oaks College\, the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies\, and serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. \nThe ABACLive Cambridge Center Series of webinars are presented by Board of Directors\, Trustees\, Advisors\, Senior Fellows of the prestigious Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies. \nThe ABACLive Cambridge Center Series is the result of a collaboration between The Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies (CCBS) and The Applied Behavior Analysis Center\, Inc (ABAC) designed to make behavioral health education accessible to the global community of professionals working to make a positive difference in the lives of others. \nREGISTER ≫ \nContinuing Education Opportunities:\nBehavior Analysts: 2 Type II CEUs \nGo to ABAC Website for complete listing of continuing education opportunities.
