FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FEAT-HOUSTON and TXABA-SIG proudly announce

the first Spanish language training

of our popular workshop ABC’s of ABA

Now in a 2 DVD freeware-set!

Houston, Texas. Feat-Houston has long partnered with TxABA-SIG (Texas

Association of Behavior Analysts Autism Special Interest Group) to offer a

low cost, high quality, six hour intensive, hands-on training for parents,

teachers, and therapists interested in learning the basic principles of

Applied Behavior Analysis for use with their children with autism or other

disabilities. The workshops have been held in English due to the difficulty

of locating a native Spanish speaker with proper credentials to present the

information.

In fall of 2005, FEAT-Houston invited Dr. Aparicio Naranjo

to present the ABC’s workshop in Spanish. Dr. Aparicio received his

doctorate in psychology from the University of New Hampshire. He is a

professor at the University of Guadalajara where he works at the Research

Center for Behavioral Studies. The two set DVD is the professional

recording of that ABC’s workshop he presented.

This two-DVD set was intended to help provide Spanish-speaking parents with

a basic understanding of the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

in their native language. It can be used in a few ways.

By Individuals

ü Spanish-speaking parents can use this to learn about ABA

ü Spanish-speaking teachers, aides, day care workers, speech

pathologists, physical and occupational therapists, nurses, social workers,

psychologists and others who work on a daily basis with children with autism

or other developmental disabilities can use this privately to learn and

review basic concepts about ABA.

ü Native English speakers can use this set to learn ABA related

vocabulary to better serve their Spanish-speaking clients.

By Groups

FEAT-Houston and TX-ABA SIG only support the use of this DVD set for

training in a group setting provided that there is a currently certified

behavior professional, i.e. a BCABA or a BCBA, present who can demonstrate

the techniques, supervise the practice sessions, and answer basic, general

questions.

Cost

The DVDs are free, but FEAT-Houston suggests a $20 donation so that we may

reprint the DVDs when they have all been distributed. Orders may be placed

through the FEAT-Houston website. www.feathouston.org
