BootCamp: Intensive Training on ABA & Verbal Behavior Programming for Classroom Teams
During this intensive, four-day boot camp, participants will receive hands-on instruction and practice on key instructional protocols that are designed to address the core deficits of autism, including the development of verbal skills, flexible responding, and appropriate social interactions. Participants will be tested out on specific protocols, which will include errorless teaching, error correction procedures, and data collection. Boot camp training will also include information on specific systems necessary for effective school-based programming, including how to schedule instruction, organization of materials, ongoing training of staff, and data-based decision-making. While the intensive teaching program taught in this training is designed to meet the unique needs of learners on the autism spectrum, it is also beneficial for students who engage in challenging behaviors due to a lack of functional language skills.

4. Demonstrate four run-throughs, which include a minimum of 20 trials, one errorless teaching procedure, and one error correction procedure, and maintain an 80/20 mix of targets to known skills.
5. Design an intensive teaching program for an individual student within a class schedule
6. Select a list of verbal operants based on assessment data.
