The seminar provides proven intervention strategies, essential treatment tools, and behavioral techniques to help you analyze behaviors and actions, identify consequences for behaviors, and teach new skills to children, adolescents and young adults with high-functioning autism. Practical intervention techniques for social success, behavior changes and overcoming co-occurring behaviors that deliver success through adulthood can be learned. There are challenging co-occurring issues that need to be addressed.

• Social and communication
• Sensory
• Anxiety/Rigidity/Non-compliance
• ADHD/ADD
• OCD
• Psychotropic medications

Gain insight into the helpful effects and potentially problematic side effects of common psychotropic medications. Pro-social punishment is a new idea to target and help make changes to difficult behaviors.

Tools will be given to you to gain effective collaboration between clinicians, teachers and parents. Through case studies, video clips and class participation you will leave this seminar with the confidence to identify actions that cause impediments in change, utilize more successful consequences for behaviors, and teach new skills to children, adolescents, and young adults with HFA. Provide interventions that can lead to independence for these individuals.

1. Implement interventions to teach children/adolescents diagnosed with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) the skills to independently manage their own regulation, anxiety and fears.
2. Design effective strategies to approach transitions and routine life challenges for children/adolescents diagnosed with HFA.
3. Utilize specific interventions to improve long-term social-emotional success for children/adolescents diagnosed with HFA.
4. Suggest specific sensory-based calming techniques to reduce anxiety for children/adolescents diagnosed with HFA.
5. Recognize the potential side effects of psychotropic medication that can mimic or cause behavioral issues related to HFA.
6. Design specific behavioral interventions to reduce frequency, intensity and duration of difficult behaviors in children/adolescents with HFA.
