Intensive tutor training workshop - don't delete!

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

Holly from EO Inc has kindly said that I can allow a few more people to attend

their Intensive Hands on training workshop next week for parents, therapists and

consultants. They are allowing more as they won't be visiting again for the

forseeable future.

I received the manual yesterday and it was absolutely spectacular - there is

lots of new information (it's 204 pages long!). I would highly recommend

everybody to attend.

The line up is: Day 1-all Intermediate ITT

Day 2-Intermediate ITT with some early NET at the end of the day

Day 3-Finish early NET and do all of Intermediate NET

Day 4-Advanced NET

This workshop is really what SO many families and therapists need right now,

which is the reason I originally asked whether they would come over. We have

kept costs low, so the amount of Consultant input that you would receive in

comparison to 'Consultations' will be enormous. I strongly urge you to consider

it

I have pasted the flier below. Contact workshopinformation@... for

further information, or EO Inc's website at www.establishingoperationsinc.com

Hoping to see a few more of you next week!

TEACHING VERBAL BEHAVIOR: COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

This FOUR-day workshop conducted by Holly Kibbe, MS, BCABA and Cherish Twigg,

MS, BCBA, is designed to provide consultants, therapists and parents who serve

as their child’s primary therapist with guided practice in implementing the

combines both the workshop entitled Teaching Verbal behavior in the Intensive

Teaching Environment (ITT) and the Workshop entitled Teaching Verbal Behavior in

the Natural Environment (NET), into a full four day workshop. During the first

two days, participants will spend most of their time practicing the methods of

effective instruction demonstrated in videotape illustrations during the

Introductory Workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to develop

intensive teaching programs based upon a completed ABLLS grid and to receive

precise feedback on their ITT teaching methods. During the last two days of this

workshop, participants will receive precise methodology

to teach children with autism across all skill levels in the natural

environment. The participants will spend most of their time viewing video

illustrations and practicing the methods of effective instruction demonstrated

during the Introductory Workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to

develop natural environment programs of all learner levels as well as to develop

lesson plans for these programs. The participants will be provided supervised

practice in the areas of:
