Information
Navigating Social Situations | General CEU: 1 | Approx. 57 minutes Watch all CEU content free of charge. A small $6 fee applies if you need an official CEU certificate (Step 3 of program) Here's why the CEU fee matters: 1. Supporting Autistic Employment Revenue: from CEU certificates can directly fund employment initiatives for autistic individuals. 2. Sustaining Quality Content: Developing high-quality, evidence-based CEU content requires significant time, expertise, and production resources. 3. Funding Platform & Administrative Costs: Hosting, tracking completions, issuing certificates, and maintaining compliance with BACB standards all carry ongoing costs. 4. Keeping Content Free to Watch: Charging for the certificate — not the content — means anyone in the ABA community can access the learning freely. 5. Supporting Nonprofit Organizations: Certificate proceeds can be directed toward nonprofits like the A.E. Wood Foundation doing critical work for the autism community. This training provides behavior analysts with a comprehensive framework for helping autistic individuals successfully navigate complex social situations. The presentation explores the fundamental challenges many clients face during social interactions, including difficulties with initiating conversations, interpreting non-verbal cues, and managing the anxiety that often accompanies unstructured environments. By deconstructing these complex social exchanges into manageable, discrete steps, the session highlights how providers can effectively teach critical foundational skills such as active listening, turn-taking, and reciprocal conversation.
