SUMMARY:What If It's Medical? Assessing Medical Influences on Interfering Behavior
DESCRIPTION:1 Ethics CEU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\nCourse Abstract: Intense or interfering behaviors are often the first symptom to visibly manifest for people with disabilities\, especially those who are non-verbal. These behavioral manifestations are often brought to the attention of behavior analysts and when these patterns are mistaken for purely behaviorally maintained—especially automatically reinforced behavior—there is a risk of ineffective or overly restrictive responses that compromise safety\, dignity\, and respect. \n\n\n\nThis presentation demonstrates behavioral patterns commonly associated with chronic\, acute\, and intermittent medical concerns (e.g. pain\, gastrointestinal issues\, sleep disruption\, UTIs\, etc.). Participants will learn how to evaluate data for indicators that behavior may be influenced by medical variables acting as setting events or establishing or abolishing operations\, rather than primary behavioral function. \n\n\n\nAttendees will explore how to organize and share meaningful behavioral data with medical providers and interdisciplinary team members\, including what information medical professionals typically find helpful. Emphasis is placed on assessment\, ethical decision-making\, interdisciplinary collaboration\, and reducing diagnostic overshadowing to support safer\, more effective care. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nReview patterns that may indicate chronic and acute medical issues\, including intermittent medical issues\n\n\n\nEvaluate data for patterns that indicate automatic reinforcement function or medical issue as a setting event or abolishing/establishing operation\n\n\n\nIdentify ways that data can be shared with the medical provider or interdisciplinary team members and what medical providers are looking for\n\n\n\nExplore assessments that can be used to indicate potential medical issues and show progress\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bios: \n\n\n\nEmily Kearney is a BCBA in the US who focuses on using the nuance of our science across populations to teach effectively and safely. She is guided by the Constructional Approach\, which aims to alleviate and prevent distress and discomfort by focusing on missing skill repertoires rather than behavior reduction. Using a component/composite analysis allows us to determine what is missing and why the behavior that might otherwise be labeled as disruptive\, challenging and so forth\, is perfectly logical from the perspective of the learner. The SBT process fits very nicely into this framework for some learners and Emily really enjoys mentoring other BCBAs to understand the components in a deep way so that they can best apply them in unique combinations for their learners\, and really tease out the best teaching methodology to reach socially-significant outcomes for their learners. \n\n\n\nKelly Bryson\, MA\, BCBA lives in Columbia\, SC with her husband and a dog who has vision impairments but is really good at sniffing out treats. She loves to read fantasy and nonfiction\, listen to live music\, and go paddle boarding. She is currently enrolled in the Special Education PhD Program (Research and Teaching) at The University of South Carolina. She has been a BCBA since 2014\, and worked with children and adults with autism in home\, school\, and community settings as a behavior analyst. She has also worked as a SPED teacher in an EBD program and as a resource teacher. For the last 8 years\, she has supported adults with lifelong disabilities in group homes and vocational sites at The Babcock Center\, where she currently serves as the Director of Behavior Supports. She has experience working across the lifespan\, and in coordination with medical professionals\, including psychiatrists\, pharmacists\, and other health care providers.

SUMMARY:When Medical Concerns Impact HRE
DESCRIPTION:1 Ethics CEU \n\n\n\nCourse Abstract: Many learners for whom SBT is appropriate have secondary diagnoses or conditions that involve chronic or persistent pain and discomfort which may limit mobility and stamina. These conditions can affect their ability to reach HRE as well as impact the response effort of completing expected CAB activities. This webinar will discuss issues related to ethical implementation of SBT with this type of learner and present a process for assessing and creating a secondary plan for customizing sessions when this setting event acts as a pervasive MO. We will discuss ways to adjust HRE activities\, options for customizing SBT steps\, and a form of Universal Protocol to use across those sessions. We will look at targets related to learner response to this format and public accompaniment signs as well as creating training for staff to recognize when to move between the two types of sessions based on those signs. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify signs of private events that would correspond with challenges reaching HRE\n\n\n\nComplete a plan for a secondary protocol for days when the client has medical challenges affecting implementation of SBT\n\n\n\nIdentify several targets that can be implemented on days when typical programming is not appropriate\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bio:Emily Kearney is a BCBA in the US who focuses on using the nuance of our science across populations to teach effectively and safely.

SUMMARY:Where's Mom!? Navigating Caregiver Separation\, Transition\, & Playtime Apart Using SBT
DESCRIPTION:1 General Learning CEU \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\nCourse Abstract: Many learners struggle to generalize skills of all types across different caregivers. This contrast may occur between parents\, parents and grandparents\, different behavior technicians on the learner’s team\, or between treatment team and family. Other learners may have a challenging time continuing to engage in a current activity when a caregiver’s attention is shifted to another person or task\, or when a caregiver may need to step out to engage in another activity while another steps in to fill their place. Many of these adjustments create a setting event for many EOs: these changes signal potential shifts in the schedule of reinforcement for our learners and can occasion high rates of avoidance or escape behavior. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify at least 5 dimensions necessary to include in treatment design of this type of branch.\n\n\n\nDescribe 3 different SBT CAB branch styles related to separation from a caregiver.\n\n\n\nDesign an SBT CAB branch related to physical separation from a caregiver.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bio: Emily Kearney is a BCBA in the US who focuses on using the nuance of our science across populations to teach effectively and safely. She is guided by the Constructional Approach\, which aims to alleviate and prevent distress and discomfort by focusing on missing skill repertoires rather than behavior reduction.

SUMMARY:From Buy-In to Belonging: Enhancing Therapeutic Relationships in SBT
DESCRIPTION:Deanna Purslow presents:From Buy-In to Belonging: Enhancing Therapeutic Relationships in Skill-Based Treatment \n\n\n\nJune 28\, 12:00-1:00pm EST1 Ethics CEU \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\nCourse Abstract: Achieving meaningful social validity in Applied Behavior Analysis requires moving beyond initial stakeholder buy-in toward sustained\, values-driven therapeutic relationships. Meaningful\, culturally inclusive practice requires us to build trusting therapeutic relationships that reflect shared values\, lived experience\, and long-term commitment. This presentation explores an integrative approach to embedding inclusionary measures of values connection with the goal of enhancing relevance\, equity\, and long-term outcomes for diverse clients and their support systems. Grounded in principles from Self-Determination Theory\, the session highlights how autonomy\, relatedness\, and competence can be actively nurtured through inclusive leadership practices and Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn to leverage MI strategies to elicit authentic client and caregiver values\, align treatment goals with intrinsic motivations\, and foster genuine collaboration with mutual respect\, cultural relevance\, and shared purpose. Inclusive leadership will be presented as a guiding framework to empower practitioners to co-create culturally responsive\, person-centered interventions that reflect the lived experiences of all stakeholders. Participants will examine how to infuse values-discovery and client-centered collaboration throughout assessment\, skill selection\, and outcome planning. Special attention will be given to shifting therapeutic dynamics to promote trust\, equity\, and belonging. Strategies for inclusive training and intentional carryover planning will be shared to enhance the long-term relevance and sustainability of intervention outcomes so participants will leave equipped to elevate the social validity of SBT by prioritizing connection and embracing values as a core component of meaningful behavior change. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe how principles from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) can be integrated to support autonomy\, relatedness\, and competence in ABA caregiver therapeutic relationships.\n\n\n\nApply Motivational Interviewing (MI) strategies to elicit client and caregiver values and align treatment goals with intrinsic motivation.\n\n\n\nIdentify key elements of inclusive leadership that foster culturally responsive\, collaborative therapeutic relationships.\n\n\n\nDesign inclusionary and values-based carryover systems within SBT that strengthen treatment generalization and long-term impact.\n\n\n\nEvaluate outcome measures through a lens of cultural inclusion and social validity\, ensuring they reflect the priorities and lived experiences of the client and their community.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bio:Deanna Purslow is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) specializing in compassionate\, inclusive care for individuals with complex behavioral needs. With a focus on Skill-Based Treatment (SBT)\, naturalistic teaching\, and mentorship\, Deanna supports emerging practitioners in delivering ethical\, individualized interventions with fidelity. Their work emphasizes safety\, connection\, and dignity\, aiming to cultivate therapeutic relationships and socially meaningful outcomes through values-based\, empowering behavior analytic practices.

SUMMARY:PART 2: Don't Save It All For The CABs: How to assess\, identify\, and teach relevant skills within HRE
DESCRIPTION:Join presenters Emily Kearney and Taylor Johnson to talk about teaching during HRE!CEUs: 1.5 General \n\n\n\nMissed Part 1? The purchase link below includes an option to bundle parts 1 and 2\, so you can catch up before the live event! \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\nCourse Abstract: When you are designing treatment centered on SBT\, the cornerstone of the process involves teaching from joy. Finding contexts with varying dimensions that bring joy to our learners and involve high levels of happiness\, relaxation and engagement is well worth spending time developing before attempting to move through the rest of the steps of SBT. Depending on our learner’s history and setting\, we may find ourselves spending a bit of treatment time working on this context before we can move ahead with the process. There may be pressure from caregivers\, employers or funders to begin “working on the goals\,” but moving ahead with the process before we have consistent reinforcement can actually impede progress and potentially set us up for unsuccessful treatment. Often\, when we speak to people who said\, “We tried SBT but it didn’t work\,” we find errors within the process that explain the results\, and moving ahead too quickly before developing HRE can be one of the top reasons. Addressing skills within the reinforcement context also allows us to work on boundary acceptance\, which can be a challenge for maintaining HRE for many learners. When staff feel like the reinforcement context is a “free for all” time with no rules or instruction\, this makes the process very challenging in shared spaces and difficult for staff to sustain for any period of time. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, we will talk about the importance of developing a strong HRE context and\, in doing so\, assessing and identifying skills that can be taught within that context. Some of these skills will allow for speedier progress with later steps of the SBT process; some of them will strengthen the learner’s leisure repertoires and allow for wider ranges of reinforcement activities (thus lowering the EO for severe problem behavior); and some of them will be skills that could have been saved for a CAB branch\, which you can teach right away instead. Embedding learning trials within the reinforcement context also paves the way for longer SBT sessions with more learning trials for the specific steps of the chain and allows the implementers to develop instructional control within shared joy. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the importance and utility of setting learning goals within the reinforcement condition of SBT.\n\n\n\nIdentify methods to assess for skills that can be taught or strengthened within the reinforcement condition of SBT.\n\n\n\nIdentify and operationally define learning goals within the reinforcement condition of SBT.\n\n\n\nIdentify specific activities and interventions that can be used within SBT\, customized to a specific learner to both match their HRE components while teaching new skills embedded in those components.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bios:Emily Kearney is a BCBA in the US who focuses on using the nuance of our science across populations to teach effectively and safely. She is guided by the Constructional Approach\, which aims to alleviate and prevent distress and discomfort by focusing on missing skill repertoires rather than behavior reduction. Using a component/composite analysis allows us to determine what is missing and why the behavior that might otherwise be labeled as disruptive\, challenging and so forth\, is perfectly logical from the perspective of the learner. The SBT process fits very nicely into this framework for some learners and Emily really enjoys mentoring other BCBAs to understand the components in a deep way so that they can best apply them in unique combinations for their learners\, and really tease out the best teaching methodology to reach socially-significant outcomes for their learners. \n\n\n\nTaylor Johnson has an MS in Behavior Analysis and Therapy and is a BCBA. She is also an Internationally certified Behavior Analyst (IBA) and a Board Certified Autism Professional. (BCAP). She has been implementing Skills-Based Treatment for over 5 years and has also been a Moderator in the PFA and SBT Facebook group since June 2021.

SUMMARY:Reflective Practice and SBT: An Intentional Way to Develop Your Skills
DESCRIPTION:This course is worth 1 Supervision CEU \n\n\n\nCourse Abstract: Throughout education\, medicine\, social work\, and other related fields\, reflective practice is widely regarded as an essential characteristic of professional competence (Mann et al.\, 2009). Despite its support across these fields\, reflective practice has only begun to be included in behavior analytic literature (Cirincione-Ulezi\, 2020; Contreras et al.\, 2021;Coy et al.\, 2024; Gatsunis et al.\, 2022; Slim & Reuter-Yuill\, 2022; Wright\, 2019). This presentation addresses this disparity by examining how structured reflection serves as a critical component when implementing intricate behavioral interventions that require continuous clinical decision-making. Skill-Based Treatment (SBT)\, with its synthesis of behavioral principles and skill acquisition procedures\, presents practitioners with moment-to-moment opportunities that may benefit substantially from systematic reflection. We analyze how reflective practice enables practitioners to evaluate antecedent conditions\, behavioral responses\, and treatment outcomes during SBT implementation. Additionally\, reflective supervision practices enhance both clinicians’ conceptual understanding and technicians’ procedural integrity (Tobin et al.\, 2024). When implemented within supervisory structures\, these reflective practices may produce measurable improvements in treatment fidelity\, effectiveness\, and independent decision-making. This presentation will provide live opportunities to engage in reflection on personal experiences and provided examples. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nParticipants will be able to identify at least three key components of reflective practice and explain their application within behavior analytic interventions.\n\n\n\nParticipants will be able to analyze the relationship between reflective practice and skill-based treatment implementation.\n\n\n\nParticipants will develop a structured framework for implementing reflective supervision practices that enhance both conceptual understanding and procedural integrity.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bio:Edward Sanabria\, Ph.D holds a Doctoral degree in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) from The Chicago School and is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with licensure in 7 states including Connecticut and Massachusetts. Edward’s research interests include interdisciplinary collaboration\, large scale adoption of behavioral interventions\, reflective practice and humility as well as the application of behavior analysis to adaptive aquatics.   \n\n\n\nHe is currently the Senior Director of Functional Analysis and Treatment Implementation at Centria Autism where he helps oversee company-wide training and implementation of clinical initiatives across the country including but not limited to the mentorship for training Practical Functional Assessment and Skill Based Treatment. Through consultation and training with the clinicians in his region\, he guides clinical practices that prioritize safety\, dignity\, effectiveness\, and rapport for clients with challenging and interfering behaviors.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Don't Save It All For The CABs: How to assess\, identify\, and teach relevant skills within HRE
DESCRIPTION:Join presenters Emily Kearney and Taylor Johnson to talk about teaching during HRE!CEUs: 1.5 General \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\nCourse Abstract: When you are designing treatment centered on SBT\, the cornerstone of the process involves teaching from joy. Finding contexts with varying dimensions that bring joy to our learners and involve high levels of happiness\, relaxation and engagement is well worth spending time developing before attempting to move through the rest of the steps of SBT. Depending on our learner’s history and setting\, we may find ourselves spending a bit of treatment time working on this context before we can move ahead with the process. There may be pressure from caregivers\, employers or funders to begin “working on the goals\,” but moving ahead with the process before we have consistent reinforcement can actually impede progress and potentially set us up for unsuccessful treatment. Often\, when we speak to people who said\, “We tried SBT but it didn’t work\,” we find errors within the process that explain the results\, and moving ahead too quickly before developing HRE can be one of the top reasons. Addressing skills within the reinforcement context also allows us to work on boundary acceptance\, which can be a challenge for maintaining HRE for many learners. When staff feel like the reinforcement context is a “free for all” time with no rules or instruction\, this makes the process very challenging in shared spaces and difficult for staff to sustain for any period of time. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, we will talk about the importance of developing a strong HRE context and\, in doing so\, assessing and identifying skills that can be taught within that context. Some of these skills will allow for speedier progress with later steps of the SBT process; some of them will strengthen the learner’s leisure repertoires and allow for wider ranges of reinforcement activities (thus lowering the EO for severe problem behavior); and some of them will be skills that could have been saved for a CAB branch\, which you can teach right away instead. Embedding learning trials within the reinforcement context also paves the way for longer SBT sessions with more learning trials for the specific steps of the chain and allows the implementers to develop instructional control within shared joy. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the importance and utility of setting learning goals within the reinforcement condition of SBT.\n\n\n\nIdentify methods to assess for skills that can be taught or strengthened within the reinforcement condition of SBT.\n\n\n\nIdentify and operationally define learning goals within the reinforcement condition of SBT.\n\n\n\nIdentify specific activities and interventions that can be used within SBT\, customized to a specific learner to both match their HRE components while teaching new skills embedded in those components.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bios: \n\n\n\nEmily Kearney is a BCBA in the US who focuses on using the nuance of our science across populations to teach effectively and safely. She is guided by the Constructional Approach\, which aims to alleviate and prevent distress and discomfort by focusing on missing skill repertoires rather than behavior reduction. Using a component/composite analysis allows us to determine what is missing and why the behavior that might otherwise be labeled as disruptive\, challenging and so forth\, is perfectly logical from the perspective of the learner. The SBT process fits very nicely into this framework for some learners and Emily really enjoys mentoring other BCBAs to understand the components in a deep way so that they can best apply them in unique combinations for their learners\, and really tease out the best teaching methodology to reach socially-significant outcomes for their learners. \n\n\n\nTaylor Johnson has an MS in Behavior Analysis and Therapy and is a BCBA. She is also an Internationally certified Behavior Analyst (IBA) and a Board Certified Autism Professional. (BCAP). She has been implementing Skills-Based Treatment for over 5 years and has also been a Moderator in the PFA and SBT Facebook group since June 2021. She has implemented the process with both highly verbal learners as well as non-verbal learners and in both English and German. She has completed over 25 hours of online training with FTF consulting. She was clinical director of one of the first ABA clinics in Stuttgart\, German

SUMMARY:Assent in Action (FREE hangout - live event only)
DESCRIPTION:Join the PFA & SBT Community admins\, moderators\, and members in our FREE\, live event\, where we will be moderating an open dialogue about assent within the PFA/SBT process. Primary questions for discussion: \n\n\n\n\nWhen you are honoring assent withdrawal\, do you still target task refusal as a challenging/reduction behavior?\n\n\n\nIs there a difference between task refusal and assent withdrawal? How would these be differentiated?\n\n\n\nHow do you work through instances where a client frequently says “no” or walks away when non-preferred tasks are presented? Is this task refusal\, assent withdrawal\, or both?\n\n\n\nOutside of immediate safety risks/concerns\, are there other situations where you would consider not honoring a child’s assent withdrawal?\n\n\n\nHow do you navigate honoring assent and assent withdrawal (and coaching your staff to do the same) when other participants (e.g. parents\, school staff) do not agree with this approach or will not allow the child’s assent withdrawal to be honored when it comes to specific tasks?\n\n\n\nDo you take data on assent withdrawal? If so\, what does that look like?\n\n\n\n\nThis event is a live event only\, with no CEUs\, and will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nModerators: – Nicky Schneider – Liisa Podosek – Taylor Johnson – Rebecca Brooks – Heather Hester – Emily Kearney – Brit Bauerle – Megh Moloney – Deanna Purslow – Kelly Bryson \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:When a Student Tells you 'No': Refusal & Emotional Regulation in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Purchase the Recording\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: Bethany CreechStudent refusal is a common challenge that teachers and staff face in both Special Education and General Education classrooms. While the majority of students willingly cooperate with most activities\, instructions\, and transitions\, nearly every classroom will have at least one student who struggles with this to some degree. If student refusal is frequent and often leads to escalation it can significantly disrupt the classroom dynamic. The most frequently recommended interventions such as Escape Extinction\, First/Then\, Behavior Charts\, Token Boards\, etc. often make the problem worse for our students with the most complex refusal profiles. In this CEU event\, Bethany will share a simple and effective way to de-escalate students who exhibit chronic refusal and increase the likelihood of their long-term success in the classroom. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nAttendees will be able to identify why a student who has learned to cooperate with others has more success in school than one who has learned to simply comply.\n\n\n\nAttendees will be able to describe the reinforcement contingencies in place for teachers that contribute to behavioral escalations in the presence of student-refusal and how to change them.\n\n\n\nAttendees will be able to describe how to become an SD for a response class of behaviors that lead to problem solving and emotional regulation.\n\n\n\nAttendees will be able to list and describe the three steps for responding to an uncooperative student.\n\n\n\nAttendees will be able to describe how to lead with curiosity and demonstrate reflective listening when students are escalated.

SUMMARY:Strategic and Ethical Approaches to Planning and Delivering Intensive Behavioral Interventions in Schools
DESCRIPTION:Purchase the Recording\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: John Staubitz \n\n\n\nEducators face persistent and emergent needs for addressing behavior in schools that threatens student and staff safety\, as well as interfering with engagement. Clinical models of intake\, assessment\, and intervention are informative for school-based behavioral providers\, but there are several unique features of the school context\, including logistical barriers\, educational goals and values\, and a political and regulatory landscape that must be taken into account. At a minimum\, providers will develop the ability to anticipate\, detect\, and accommodate these features\, and ideally they will be able to capitalize on the opportunities that can be identified. Moreover\, the actions taken should be both effective and ethical. In this presentation\, we will highlight key actions for practitioners to consider as they apply processes such as Universal Protocols\, Practical Functional Assessment and Skill-Based Treatment based on our practice and research in Tennessee’s diverse public schools. This presentation will provide a synthesis of evidence-based approaches from educational consulting\, clinical ABA\, and PFA/SBT\, including problem identification\, goal setting\, data-based decision-making\, capacity-building\, and individualizing clinical approaches in the interest of improving social validity and efficacy. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nThe participant will be able to develop a process for identifying the student and school profiles for which Universal Protocols\, Practical Functional Assessment\, and Skill-Based Treatment are most likely to lead to desired outcomes.\n\n\n\nThe participant will be able to align the goals of students\, families\, and educator teams with the tactics of UP and SBT to clarify expectations and promote informed and individualized decision-making.\n\n\n\nThe participant will be able to assess and address issues related to acceptability\, collaboration\, staff-training\, progress monitoring.\n\n\n\nThe participant will be able to articulate several practical measures they can take in order for Universal Protocols to be successfully applied in schools.

SUMMARY:Responding Compassionately to Unexpected Behavior in Schools and Clinical Settings: A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Purchase the Recording\n\n\n\n\n“Responding Compassionately to Unexpected Behavior in Schools and Clinical Settings: A Panel Discussion” offers 2 Ethics CEUs. Your instructors for this course are: Dr. Megan DeLeon (Miller)\, Bethany Creech\, Hillary Laney and Nicola Schneider. \n\n\n\nApplied Behavior Analysis has long relied on compliance-based practices to decrease behavioral challenges. Direct feedback from neurodivergent individuals about their experiences is more readily available to mainstream society through social media. This attention on past practices as well as recent research on assent-based procedures within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis is reshaping how we respond to distress behaviors in various environments. Staff in school-based and clinical settings continue to face an uphill battle when attempting to embed the values of trauma-assumed and compassionate care. Using skill-building\, rather than escape extinction procedures early in the behavioral escalation cycle\, we can not only prevent distress behaviors\, but also increase coping and problem solving replacement behaviors. By understanding how and when to honor assent withdrawal we will be better equipped to respond to individuals who are in distress. In reframing our responses to distress behavior\, we can leave behind outdated practices without compromising the effectiveness of interventions.
