Brand: FoxyLearning
Description
The practice of Applied Behavior Analysis gets more complex with each passing year, and the definition of essential competencies continues to expand. Our understanding of how to apply the science and technology of ABA becomes increasingly nuanced and sophisticated with the advancement of research and the development of clinical tools. This presentation focuses on the essential competencies for practitioners that will enable clinicians to remain aware of best practice recommendations, to stay close to the evidence-based nature of our science, and to apply our interventions in ethical and humane ways.

Presentation included useful reviews of other approaches to treatment and ways to support behavior analytic science. However, the presentation also would have been more helpful if it spoke from more of a hiring standpoint.
