Treatment Strategies for Selective Eaters
Amy Drayton4.85 out of 5(27)A wide range of feeding problems are common in children with autism spectrum disorders but perhaps the most common is eating a restricted variety of table foods. Specific behavioral strategies to introduce new foods and increase the amount of each new food are discussed in detail. Signs of oral-motor skills deficits that may block treatment progress are also reviewed. From the 2015 Michigan Autism Conference.

1 Ethics CEUPractical and Ethical Methodologies for Assessing Function of Problematic Behaviors in the Natural Environment
Robert Ross4.53 out of 5(19)This session from the 2018 Michigan Autism Conference addresses ethical concerns in current Functional Analysis (FA) methods, such as reinforcing problem behavior directly during assessment and using indirect data for hypothesis development. It introduces alternative procedures that involve direct experimental tests, allowing clinicians to gather objective data on reinforcing effects without directly reinforcing harmful behavior.

Evidence-Based Practice: Myths and Realities
Bruce Thyer4.71 out of 5(14)This presentation from the 2016 Michigan Autism Conference distinguishes between Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)—a holistic approach incorporating client preferences, ethics, costs, clinical expertise, and available resources alongside research evidence—and Research-Supported Treatments (RST), a model focusing on applying well-supported treatments. Originating in medicine, EBP’s comprehensive decision-making model has significantly influenced health and social care professions, contrasting with the more limited RST initiative from psychology.

Problem Behavior is Predictable and Preventable
Timothy Vollmer4.95 out of 5(20)Observers often perceive problem behaviors like self-injury or tantrums as unpredictable, but scientific evidence suggests otherwise. This presentation from the 2015 Michigan Autism Conference highlights five pieces of evidence demonstrating that problem behavior is often predictable and orderly, along with the proposal of a model for behavioral assessment and intervention based on these findings.

1 Ethics CEUEvidence-Based Practice of Applied Behavior Analysis
Susan Wilczynski4.86 out of 5(14)Applied behavior analysis relies on integrating the best available evidence, professional judgment, and client values and context. The presentation from the 2015 Michigan Autism Conference emphasizes that evidence-based practice doesn’t mean randomly selecting treatments, but rather considering client and contextual variables in treatment selection. It discusses how behavior analytic literature underscores the importance of client and contextual factors, highlighting parental involvement in decision-making, and briefly highlights the importance of providing tailored ABA services to clients on the autism spectrum.

ASD and Sleep: Helping Children (and their families!) Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Dawn Dore-Stites4.90 out of 5(30)Optimal sleep is linked to enhanced learning, physical health, and behavioral functioning, but addressing sleep issues in children and adolescents with autism remains challenging. This presentation from the 2018 Michigan Autism Conference covers medical and behavioral principles of sleep and then focuses on evidence-based assessment and interventions for pediatric ASD populations. The aim is to equip providers and families with knowledge to identify and address sleep problems effectively.

4 Ethics CEUsPractical Ethics for the Effective Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder
David Cox, Shawn Quigley, & Matthew Brodhead4.88 out of 5(8)This workshop from the 2018 Michigan Autism Conference targets behavior analysts working with individuals with autism, covering topics like ethical principles, decision-making factors, and the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s Professional and Ethical Compliance Code. It also delves into critical aspects such as scope of competence, evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and designing ethical supervision systems tailored to specific treatment settings.

Using Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports to Help Children with Autism be Successful in the Gen-Ed Setting
Steve Goodman4.33 out of 5(15)PBIS is an evidence-based approach focused on identifying, teaching, reinforcing, and correcting behavior expectations. It escalates support intensity based on the severity of problem behaviors, integrating functional assessment, behavior support plans, skill development, environmental adjustments, and more. This presentation from the 2015 Michigan Autism Conference outlines PBIS principles and demonstrates its application to enhance success for students with autism.

Teaching Problem Solving to Increase Academic, Communication, and Social Skills
Judah Axe4.67 out of 5(12)Problem solving involves manipulating stimuli to find solutions, often through internal strategies like self-questioning and visualizing. Analyzing problem solving is challenging as it often happens covertly. Limited research exists on teaching problem-solving strategies to individuals with disabilities, but potential benefits for children with autism include reduced rote responding and increased generalization. This presentation from the 2018 Michigan Autism Conference discusses conceptual analysis, previous research, and recent work on teaching problem solving to aid memory recall.
