Constructionally Selecting and Programming for Learner Goals
Presenter(s): Awab Abdel-Jalil
CEUs FOR PURCHASE: 2 Learning BACB®
Goldiamond introduced the Constructional Approach in his seminal 1974 paper as an orientation which aims to directly produce desirable repertoires– rather than focusing on decelerating repertoires deemed problematic. The Constructional Approach has recently gained popularity due to many reasons. Some questions still remain: Within the constructional approach, how are goals selected? After they are selected, how are programs created to teach those goals?

Bridging the Gap between Analysis and Empathy
Using Structured Protocols Which Promote Generalization and Adherence for Parents and Teachers based on Compassionate Connections
Presenter(s): Bailey Payne, BCBA
CEUs FOR PURCHASE: 2 Learning BACB®
This webinar explores how a structured teaching protocol addressing prerequisite skills equips not only behavior analysts with an evidence-based guide, but also caregivers and educators with the tools they need to maintain behavior change. By focusing on teaching prerequisite skills before introducing complex behavioral interventions, behavior analysts can build confidence and competence to support lasting change. Data demonstrates that prioritizing foundational skills results in greater adherence to interventions, improved implementation of behavioral recommendations, and overall better outcomes. This directly results in not only increased learning opportunities but stronger connections and more joy!

A Compassionate Approach to Understanding and Addressing Interfering Behaviors
Understanding why challenging behaviors occur prior to treating it is at the heart of ABA. Considering beyond the 4 basic functions of behavior and understanding the limitations of descriptive assessments in the context of an FBA to promote effective outcomes.
Presenter(s): Celia Heyman, PhD, BCBA-D
CEUs FOR PURCHASE: 2 Learning BACB®
This presentation will discuss the prevalence of interfering behaviors in individuals diagnosed with autism and similar developmental disabilities. Attendees will learn about the limitations of conducting descriptive assessments. And if clinicians decide to include a descriptive assessment as part of an FBA, they will learn a more valid way to conducting one. Attendees will learn about an alternative technology to understanding and treatment of challenging behaviors that focuses on safety, televisibility, and rapport (Ghaemmaghami et al., 2024; Iovino et al., 2022). Participants will also be given the tools to make the shift towards assent-based and trauma-sensitive approaches to keeping both students and staff safe (Slaton et al., 2024).

What Good Is Our Science if it isn't Responsive?
Presenter(s): Shane Spiker, PhD, BCBA-D
CEUs FOR PURCHASE: 2 Learning BACB®
Behavior analysis is a powerful, highly generalizable science. We hear things like “why are we not acting to save the world” or “everything is behavior.” But if our science were that grandiose, wouldn’t we see more influence from our field? In this talk, Dr. Spiker will discuss the science-to-practice gap that behavior analysis continues to suffer from well into 2025 using case examples from within and outside of our field.
