Dr. Partington re-post

[Guest guest]

I am re-posting information about the Dr. Partington workshop as a reminder/refresher. I have cut and pasted information below. Feel free to e-mail me privately for more information. Early registration is due April 14. Understanding and Changing Challenging Behaviors for Young Children with Autism: Practical advice for parents and professionals Saturday, May 12; 8:30-4:30

Yankee Trace Banquet Center 1000 Yankee St. Dayton, OH 45458 Workshop Description: Parents often have

concerns about how to encourage their child to behave in an appropriate manner. Attempts to get a child with language delays to “go along with us,” are complicated by the fact that the child often doesn’t understand what we are trying to get them to do or not to do. Another critical factor is the fact that many of these children are not motivated by the typical praise and recognition that is often used to teach typically developing children how to behave. As a result, parents and instructors often find it a challenging task to get the child to do many of the things we need them to do. This workshop specifically addresses practical issues and will give methods for analyzing problem situations and developing strategies to solve those problems. Speaker: Dr. Partington is a licensed psychologist and a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA), with more than 30 years experience. He is the Director of STARS School and Behavior Analysts, Inc., in Pleasant Hill, California. His expertise is in teaching methodology used in language intervention and shaping initiation skills with children who are experiencing language delays as a result of autism-related disorders. Dr. Partington has

received awards from the Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis and the Florida Association of Behavior Analysis for his contributions to the field of behavior analysis. Dr. Partington has published several papers on teaching strategies for children with disabilities, has co-authored with Dr. Mark L. Sundberg the book, Teaching Language to Children with Autism or Other Developmental Disabilities and The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (The ABLLS): An Assessment, Curriculum Guide, and Skills Tracking System for Children with Autism or Other Developmental Disabilities, and has produced an instructional video, Teaching Verbal Behavior: An Introduction to Parents Teaching Language.
