Drs. Lynn and Koegel will present a program targeted at

parents and professionals, alike. The Koegels will describe several

crucial " core " behaviors (self-initiation, self management, ability

to respond to multiple cues and others) which when taught to

children with autism spectrum disorders can also produce widespread

improvements in other behaviors (a sort of " hub and spokes " approach

to behavioral therapy).

This approach can permit families and therapists to cut through the

lengthy and laborious process of targeting individual behaviors one

at a time, and focus their efforts on teaching a few core behaviors

that can more quickly increase the child's ability to generalize and

learn incidentally, produce large improvements language and social

skills, and reduce disruptive and stereotypic behaviors.

The Koegels will discuss the theory and research supporting core

behavior theory and then present concrete, practical strategies and

examples for teaching core behaviors in natural settings at home and

in mainstream school environments, " ....Peggy Beck, ASA Gr.Phila.Ch.
