Opportunities to be trained in state-of-the-art verbal behavior

techniques at no cost!

Beaumont Hospital's HOPE Center (located in metro Detroit)

offers a semester-long training program-CARE-for individuals interested

in learning to implement behavioral interventions for young children

diagnosed with autism. Training at CARE is based on the latest advances

in Behavior Analysis, including Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior.

Directed by Dr. Ivy Chong, a board certified behavior analyst, CARE

provides hands-on training at the Bachelor's and Master's level.

Trainees work with two children with differing levels of function in

order to become familiar with a variety of curriculum and program areas.

A heavy emphasis is placed on functional communication training and

contriving situations to teach advanced mand behavior, skills which are

not easily learned from textbooks or workshops. Techniques to facilitate

peer social interactions are also targeted.

These marketable skills enable trainees to receive numerous offers of

employment from families to work in private early-intervention programs.

In addition, when employment opportunities arise at Beaumont Hospital,

we look first to hire our successful trainees. Supervised clinical

training experience is also essential for individuals looking to apply

to graduate school or preparing to sit for the BCBA or BCABA exam.

Students enrolled in college may elect to receive credit for their

participation and receive a $500 stipend.

For parents running an in-home ABA program, this is a phenomenal

opportunity for your team members to receive quality training at no

cost. Your child will benefit when the individuals providing therapy

are knowledgeable and skilled in verbal behavior techniques.

Interested candidates must commit to either a morning or afternoon

session (3.5 hours) Monday through Friday for a 15-week semester. To

apply, contact Dr. Ivy Chong at 248-691-8143 or ichong@...
