Autism Partnership 5th Annual Conference on ABA Principles and Effective Teaching Methods

Autism Partnership 5th Annual Conference on ABA Principles and Effective Teaching Methods

Children with autism learn differently. They might not have adequate and fundamental motivation to learn individually. They also find it difficult to learn in a group setting. In order to facilitate effective teaching strategies, ABA principles and key foundations are established to enable the child to pick up the skills taught, generalize skills in various settings and people as well as maximize potential through natural and fun teaching. This event will feature didactic teaching, demonstration and panel discussion by our experienced and accomplished behavioral consultants.
