In addition to the defining features\, as many as 50% of children with ASD exhibit behavioral problems\, including tantrums\, noncompliance\, and aggression. These behaviors interfere with the performance of daily living skills\, limit the child’s ability to benefit from educational services\, and may increase social isolation. Uncertainty on how to manage these behavioral problems may also amplify caregiver stress. The recognized struggles parents face in raising a child with ASD have sparked increased interest in evidence-based parent training (PT) programs\, as they empower parents to be the agent of change for their child. The Research Unit on Behavioral Interventions (RUBI) Autism Network developed a manualized parent training program that utilizes techniques grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis to teach families of children with ASD how to manage their child’s behavioral problems. We conducted a series of studies on the RUBI program and found that it is acceptable to parents\, can be reliably delivered by trained therapists\, and reduces children’s noncompliant and disruptive behavior. This training will provide an overview of the development and empirical investigation of the RUBI Parent Training program as a novel treatment for disruptive behavior in ASD as well as an in-depth walk-through of content for the Core RUBI sessions. Through the use of manual materials and case exemplars\, the training will focus on various treatment models\, delivery strategies\, and challenges\, including considerations when choosing cases\, discussion of common “pitfalls” when implementing session materials\, and how to promote successful delivery of the intervention in order to meet the needs of individual children and their families. \n\n\n\n\nLearner objectives: \n\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the rationale for parent training (PT) as a front-line treatment for children with ASD\nCompare the various types of parent training for youth with ASD\, including research findings\nList four key concepts that form the overarching framework of the RUBI program\nExplain the content of the Core RUBI sessions using illustrative case examples and including successful homework strategies corresponding to each session\nDesign RUBI assessment and treatment plans that are responsive to clinic demands and family needs\, including common barriers to treatment fidelity\n\nREGISTER \n\n\nAbout ASHA CEU Credits\, Certificates of Attendance\, and In-Service Credits \n\n\n\n\nEarn up to 0.5 ASHA CEUs or 5 contact hours per day for a total possible 1.5 CE or 15 contact hours for the entire Summer Training Institute. \n\n\n\n\nRequirements for ASHA CEU Credits\nParticipants can receive a maximum of 0.5 ASHA CE Credits each day for a total of 1.5 CE Credits for all three days.

SUMMARY:Understanding and Treating Challenging Behaviors Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Free\, three-part webinar at 11 am\, Eastern time (US)\, Wednesday\, May 25\, 2022\n11-11:15am\nPart One: Challenges when your son or daughter is experiencing a difficult time\nPaul Shattock\, PhD will provide a parent perspective on handling his son’s challenging behaviors and describe the experiences of other families who have had a difficult time dealing with these behaviors. \n11:15-11:30am\nPart Two: Discussion of various biological and social reasons for challenging behaviors\nARI’s Executive Director Stephen M. Edelson\, PhD\, will discuss numerous underlying causes for challenging behaviors such as self-injurious behavior and aggression. He will also stress the need to consider numerous possible contributors to these behaviors when developing an effective treatment plan. \n11:30am – 12:30pm\nPart Three: Teaching Children with Autism How to Communicate Their Wants and Needs\nWhen children with autism engage in challenging behaviors (such as aggression\, self-injury\, tantrums\, etc.)\, it is typically because they are trying to communicate some want or need\, but they do not have a better way to get their needs met. If we can determine the communicative “messages” of the children’s challenging behavior and teach them to communicate the same message in a better way (a process known as Functional Communication Training [FCT])\, their challenging behavior would not be necessary and would therefore be reduced. \n\nThis is a joint presentation by ARI and The World Autism Organisation. \nREGISTER \n\n\n\nAbout the speakers:\nStephen M. Edelson\, Ph.D.\, is the director of the Autism Research Institute. Active in the field of autism for over 30 years\, he was named director of ARI in 2006 after the passing of autism pioneer and advocate\, Dr. Bernard Rimland. Dr. Edelson has conducted research in a variety of areas comprising behavior\, sensory issues\, and cognition; he has published peer-reviewed research articles with many notables in the autism field\, including Drs. Bernard Rimland\, Ivar Lovaas\, Temple Grandin\, and Margaret Bauman. Learn more about Dr. Edelson. \n\nLauren Moskowitz\, PhD\, is an Associate Professor of Psychology at St. John’s University and a core member of the School Psychology (Psy.D. and M.S.) programs. She earned her B.S. from Cornell University and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Stony Brook University. Dr. Moskowitz completed her clinical internship at NYU Child Study Center and Bellevue Hospital and her postdoctoral fellowship at NYU Child Study Center. She is on the editorial board of the Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions (JPBI)\, serves as a peer reviewer for many other leading journals in the field\, and was Co-Chair of the Autism Spectrum and Developmental Disabilities (ASDD) SIG for the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) from 2016-2018. \n\nPaul Shattock (B.Pharm\, Dip.Ag.Vet.Pharm\, OBE)\, a pharmacist and parent of an autistic son\, was Honorary Director of the Autism Research Unit (ARU)\, University of Sunderland\, UK now called ESPA Research. He is Chairman of ESPA (Education and Services for People with Autism) which provides teaching and residential services for young adults with autism and President-Elect of the World Autism Organisation (WAO) having previously been secretary for Autisme-Europe.
