Hello Team,
14 of us gathered at The Arc for our January meeting. 2 joined us
virtually and there were new faces around the table, from North Beach
to South Bend! Thank you to Matt Woodard, M.Ed., BCBA for presenting
the Q & A in ABA meeting! The following are the main questions asked:
What is ABA?
How do you get ABA?
Can ABA be done in schools as well? How?
Can parents learn ABA independently?
What are some quality resources for learning about ABA?
How do you decrease problem behaviors?
Our time was used up quickly and there were many other questions
remaining. Matt is willing to return in the future and bring specific
instruction in areas such as ABA in the classroom and increasing desired
behaviors. The basic answers to these questions are detailed in this
newsletter. There is also a list of requested resources.
