CLEARING THE AIR ABOUT

ABA…

And having fun as we do it!

Presenters: Sarah L. Schaefer, LPC, BCBA, www.advbehavioralconcepts.com

Mark Vogl, BS, Program Coordinator, CCI Enterprises

plus a special parent testimonial

Parents, professionals, and all “Anti-ABAers” are invited to join us while we present the truth and dispel the myths about

Applied Behavior Analysis

Families and professionals are often faced with various approaches to teach children with special needs. While there is a vast array of approaches, families encounter confusion and doubt about which approach will effectively teach children a new skill or reduce behaviors that interfere with learning. This presentation will present the science of applied behavior analysis while dispelling common misperceptions. It will clarify the basic principles of behavior analysis and how they may be applied to people with a wide variety of needs both in an intensive teaching and natural learning environment.
