The Behavior Analysis Association fo Michigan announced two additional workshops for its soon-to-happen meeting. They are likely to relevant to readers of EBD Blog who are interested in Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome.
BAAM is pleased to announce two additional workshops for the BAAM convention (March 22-23 at Eastern Michigan University). One is on providing support for adolescents with autism and Asperger’s in schools; the other is on self-improvement using cognitive-behavioral techniques.
We believe both of these workshops are excellent opportunities. More and more people with pervasive developmental disorders are attending schools, and it is especially important to attend to adjustments issues when these children become adolescents. Dealing effectively with personal life issues is also important for everyone. J. Silva will offer instruction on a systematic approach to dealing with dysfunctional behavior in everyday life.

It’s great to see ABA organizations embracing other approaches. Helping children (and adults for that matter) is about finding common ground. If there were more of these type of workshops, ABA can continue to improve its image within mental health.
