LSGurdin Consulting BCBA Series: Transforming School Practices - Solutions for Shifting from Compliance to Engagement
An insightful session focused on helping school BCBAs shift teams away from traditional compliance-driven approaches to more collaborative and engagement-oriented strategies throughout the school day. Historically, behavioral programs have included interventions that evoke and reinforce compliance. However, this approach can cause distress, avoidance, and negative opinions of our field. The conversation has moved towards designing compassionate interventions that are assent-based, kind, and supportive, fostering an environment where students and staff actively engage with each other, enhancing motivation and participation in the learning process. The presentation reviews research on assent-based, compassionate interventions, discusses the challenges school BCBAs face during the transition from compliance to engagement-based behavior plans, and offers practical solutions to navigate these challenges. Offered in partnership with LSGurdin Consulting; BCBAs are eligible for 1.5 CEUs through LSGurdin Consulting.

Designing for Success: A Systems Approach to Supporting Autistic Learners Through Assessment, Universal Supports, and Evidence-Based Practice
This session presents a quality-of-life framework for supporting autistic learners, organized through a Multi-Tiered System of Supports. Best practice is defined not as reducing behavior or completing work, but as building conditions for participation, communication, belonging, and access to meaningful routines. Participants will work through the recurring assessment loop of universal screening, skill assessment, functional assessment, and progress monitoring; the Tier 1 universal supports every classroom should have — including structure and visual schedules, positive behavior supports, communication systems such as AAC, social skills instruction, and evidence-based curriculum; and the selection of evidence-based instructional practices matched to both learner and context. The framework measures the system as well as the student, using program-level indicators such as implementation fidelity, coaching cycle completion, and screening coverage. 1.0 CE hour available. Sponsored by Anderson Center for Autism. Free for all.
