Sleep Routine Readiness and Training
This talk will focus on the prevalence of sleep issues across children, and factors that influence problematic behaviors and sleep patterns. It will also address factors that dictate medical rule-in/rule-out and consultation with other professions beyond the scope of ABA practice. Considerations for strategies are discussed, which are strongly recommended to be under the supervision of a competent board-certified behavior analyst.

Presenter: Matthew Heininger, M.A., BCBA, Butterfly Effects
Embracing Brain-Based Differences in the Workplace
In this session about Workplace Readiness, we'll look at how our unique brains function differently (neurodiversity) and how understanding this from an early age can enhance our performance and purpose at work. Just like fingerprints, each of our brains are unique. By appreciating these differences, we can better meet the needs of everyone. We'll focus on teaching important skills, like executive functioning, during childhood to set individuals up for success. The workshop will also share behavioral strategies to create inclusive learning spaces and strengthen neurodiversity from an early stage.

Presenter: Jagmeet K. Sangha, MA, BCBA, Behavior Pivot Consulting
Self-Advocacy and the College Transition for Autistic Students
One of the key shifts that occur in college is that students must "self-advocate" in order to obtain any needed services and disability support, rather than relying on parents or professionals to take the initiative. This presentation will explain the importance of self-advocacy for autistic students in college and help parents understand what they can do to prepare high school students for this transition.
Date: Thursday, April 11, 2024
Presenter: Eric Endlich; Top College Consultants
Values-Driven Couples and Families
Diving into your values in a meaningful and regular way indicates that you are an intentional couple or family. It is only the intentional couple or family that sustains the storm winds of life. Stressors will come and those that are unprepared are the least likely to withstand the challenges that they bring. In this presentation Dr. Lucking will discuss the XYZ system of creating values that drive behavior. This system can be used with couples or families and can help with parenting, as it's simple enough for children but practical enough for adults. Love requires effort and Neurodiverse love can sometimes requires even more effort. Your effort can be reduced with the right tools and theory.

Presenter: Dr. Thomas Lucking, Ph.D., Individual Therapist
Autism & Severe Behaviors: Assessment & Treatment
This presenter will discuss autism and severe behaviors, focusing on the challenges families and educators face when managing these complex issues. The presentation emphasizes the importance of behavior analysis in assessing why these behaviors occur, allowing for tailored interventions that meet individual needs. By using data-driven techniques, the treatment plans aim to reduce severe behaviors and promote positive outcomes, leading to improved quality of life for individuals with autism and their families

Navigating the Special Education System
Navigating the special education process can be overwhelming for families when their child is struggling in schools. In this presentation, you will gain a basic understanding of the special education process, what is not considered special education, and what to expect if your child is eligible for special education. You will also learn your rights and responsibilities as a parent or guardian of a child with disabilities.

Presenter: Dr. Christen Fanelli, Psy.D.; State of Maryland Department of Education
Promoting Play by Incorporating Interests and Motivators
Play is an essential part of learning, socialization, and happiness. Early on play opportunities drive skill acquisition and contribute to many foundational skills. Through observation, caregivers can identify their child's interests and motivators to help build and expand on play.

Presenter: Staci Kolko, Carolina Center for ABA & Autism, Kind Behavioral Health
Understanding Neuropsychological Testing
A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive test that helps parents understand their child's intellectual, emotional, social, and behavioral functioning and can provide diagnostic clarity for both parents and professionals. Undergoing a neuropsychological evaluation can be a lengthy and overwhelming process for families. In this presentation, you will gain a basic understanding of what to expect during the neuropsychological testing process and how this process can specifically address an autism diagnosis.
