Workshops
One of the things Michael Conteh, our BCBA, enjoys doing is offering different, entertaining, and informative talks to parents, teachers, educators, and people interested in learning about Applied Behavior Analysis and Autism. The talks usually last between one and four hours, and these are a great opportunity to personally ask a Board Certified Behavior Analyst any particular questions you may have, meet other professionals and colleagues in the field, and network with different families who might be in a similar situation. Michael has provided workshops for numerous organizations, such as Tomball ASA, Katy resource fair, Houston ASA, Ford Bend resource fair, and more. Some of the workshop topics available are:
The Basics of ABA
We cover the fundamentals of Applied Behavior Analysis:
- Reinforcement
- Functions of behavior
- Shaping
This workshop is great for parents and teachers who want to get an overall view of what ABA is and how to implement it in the home and school settings.
What's your Child's Motivation?
Motivation is everything, and if you can motivate your child it will infinitely increase the opportunities for him/her to learn. This workshop will cover:
- What is Reinforcement
- How to use reinforcement effectively to teach
- What behaviors interfere with motivation and learning
- What common mistakes people make in regard to motivation
Video Modeling...of the Future!
This workshop is one of my favorites, since it's something that is sorely needed in our community. Video modeling is your child's ability to watch another person perform an action (on video) and then he/she attempts to replicate it. Early research indicates that video modeling can be a successful tool in teaching children how to improve in play, social, academic, and communication skills. The workshop covers:
- The history of video modeling
- What makes videos so effective?
- How to implement in the home or school setting
- The future of video modeling
We can travel to your location for groups of 10 or more, and we also usually try to hold workshops at our Center two to three times a year. Workshops are available to organizations, schools, and parent groups. Pricing depends on location, distance, and how many people will attend.
