Title: Teaching Self-Monitoring Strategies to Students with Autism and Related Disorders
Description: One of the key targets for many individuals with Autism is promoting generalization of skills and behavior management strategies into all facets of daily life. This can become difficult at times, particularly when trying to simultaneously facilitate independence in home, school and community environments. It becomes increasingly beneficial for individuals to develop self-monitoring skills that will enable this transition into less structured environments while fading dependency on external behavioral supports. This course will examine various methods to teach self-monitoring skills to individuals with autism and other related disorders, which may be effective in skill generalization as well as better management of inappropriate social behaviors in various settings. Relevant research studies will be discussed, as well as identification of learner pre-requisite skills and instructional adaptations for various learning styles.

Title: Treatment Strategies to Improve Executive Function Skills in Children with Autism
Description: This course will examine executive dysfunction in relation to individuals with autism, and review seven areas of executive function that have been identified and are often impaired within this specific population. It will also examine the importance in programming for executive function acquisition within all stages of ABA programs for children with Autism spectrum Disorders, and will provide discussion in regards to programming strategies for various types of learners through the use of case studies. Further, while the effectiveness of ABA programs in treating the symptoms of children with autism has been well researched and documented, there is extremely limited research in the area of executive function skill acquisition within this population. However, there are many anecdotal accounts of individuals with autism acquiring executive function skills through ABA intervention programs, and the need for further empirical research will be discussed.

Title: Strategies for Establishing Compliance in Children with High Functioning Autism
Description: Establishing compliance in children with high functioning autism can be difficult, particularly when traditional prompting or reinforcement methods may be inappropriate to the child’s functioning level. A variety of strategies may be useful in increasing compliance in these individuals. During this course antecedent modifications and consequence manipulations pertaining to noncompliance will be discussed. Strategies discussed will include use of a functional approach as well as rules and rule-governed behavior, social stories as rules, power cards, a 5 point scale, coping strategies, behavior contracts, cancel cards, reward systems, and my way-your way interventions. All strategies will be related to use in a comprehensive behavior intervention plan. This course is designed to provide participants with specific concrete strategies to use immediately.
