Great seminar in Savannah (April 7)

[Guest guest]

An excellent autism seminar will be held in Savannah, GA on April 7

called " Motivating Children with Autism to Speak: Incorporating ABA

Principles to Build Functional Communication. " The presenter is

Tamara Kasper, MS, CCC-SLP, BCBA, a nationally-known speaker who is both

a speech language pathologist & a board certified behavior analyst.

We're offering a $99/person special rate. (Regular rate is

$179/person.) FEAT South is offering this discounted rate to each

person who registers, as we hope as many folks as possible can take

advantage of this great opportunity. This is a popular & highly

regarded seminar, so we recommend that you reserve your seats as soon as

you are able. We have seating available now, but in the past this

seminar has filled to capacity about a week before the event. Please

feel free to contact us about seating availability.

The seminar is open to speech therapists, teachers, tutors, & parents, &

provides real world examples of practical and easily implemented

interventions that can be applied across different settings. Many

children with autism live with little or no verbal skills. The

inability to communicate even the basic requests creates a high level of

frustration, and can lead to many challenging behaviors. This seminar

shines a light on the challenges in working with children with autism, &

provides outside-the-box teaching strategies to reduce problem behavior

during teaching, to promote functional communication, & to increase

early vocal skills.

Procedures to shape functional verbal & /or manual communication will be

addressed, including utilization of the K & K Sign and Say teaching tool,

Kaufman's system of hierarchy of vocalizations (Kaufman's word

shell cards), and others will be discussed. Methods of effective

transfer of skills from vocal imitation to spontaneous requesting will

be presented. Focused on practical strategies, dozens of video clips of

treatment methods are shown all day. The seminar has been approved for

0.6 CEUs through ASHA for speech therapists.
