This webinar provides families with an introduction to the common characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and how it can impact everyday life. We will discuss research on the cause of ASD and take a closer look at brain development. Families will also begin to look at the strengths and needs of their own child.
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is the scientific methodology that is used to support each child's skill development within the OAP. This workshop will introduce families to ABA and demonstrate how these strategies can be used to teach skills during daily family routines.
Learn about the various functions of behaviour and why a child might engage in challenging behaviour. Participants will develop an understanding of how to use Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to prevent and redirect difficult behaviours.
These workshops focus on applying ABA strategies to target a specific skill area and are designed to support families in helping their child to learn and use new skills in their everyday lives.
