Moving Beyond Play: Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions

Friday September 20, 2024 9:00am - 10:00am CDT

Parent-mediated Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions for children with ASD often focus on play activities. By coaching families to use these evidence-based strategies during typical family routines, parents can extend intervention throughout their day and teach their children to use social communication skills during routines where those skills are needed.

Three Essential Tools for Homes, Child Cares, and Preschools

Friday September 20, 2024 10:15am - 11:15am CDT

GrandSalon 22 - 1st fl

Processes and structures can lead to good practices, minimizing the impact of individual-professional acumen. This minimization enhances consistency without diminishing the strengths of professionals who do well. Three tools we have employed are supporting professionals visiting homes, child cares, and preschools: the Ecomap, the Matrix, the Next-Steps Form.
