I-CARE Workshop Series
One of I-CARE's primary goals is to provide resource information regarding services to families of children with autism, caretakers and educational providers. Part of this goal is realized through a series of workshops sponsored by I-CARE which provide access to experts in autism-related fields in order to assist with continuing the education of parents and professionals.

Upcoming Workshops

Dr. Vince Carbone's Intro Workshop:  Teaching Language to Children with Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities Conducted by Vincent J. Carbone Board Certified Behavior Analyst In this three-day workshop, the presenter will describe the behavioral approach to teaching communication skills to children with autism and other developmental disabilities.  This approach is based on B. F. Skinner's anallysis of verbal behavior and the research of Michael, Sundberg, Partington, and others. Participants in this workshop will learn [1] to conduct a Behavioral Language Assessment, [2] to select the most appropriate form of communication for a child or adult (vocal, signing, pointing to or exchanging pictures, or activating an augmentative device), and [3] to select the communication responses and supporting skills that should be taught first. The workshop will include the recommended teaching procedures for children who have no formal communication skills to children who are near conversational speakers.  The presenter will also describle and demonstrate errorless teaching, specific quick-transfer (prompting and fading) procedures, and the use of both discrete trial training in the natural environment and during intensive teaching sessions.  Many video tape demonstrations will be provided to illustrate the methods to increase spontaneous language and to develop conversational skills.
