STAR Autism Support Training

This comprehensive workshop provides participants with detailed examples and practice activities on how to implement the evidence-based practices identified in the National Standards Report (2009).

The STAR Program (Arick, Loos, Falco and Krug, 2015), a research-based curriculum is used to provide examples. Appropriate content connected to the common core curriculum is presented and detailed information on the three evidenced-based instructional methods of discrete trial training, pivotal response training and teaching through functional routines are shared. Participants will learn how to implement these strategies through structured lesson plans and a curriculum scope and sequence. The workshop will include extensive data collection systems and participants will learn to collect and use data for instructional decision making.

Workshop topics will include the use of a powerpoint lecture, video examples, presenter demonstration and participant "hands-on" practice.

Fees: $150 for Regions 9 and 10 participants. Includes all three days and lunch on April 11 and 12. Virtual options are available for $75 per site.
