Autism Spectrum Disorder Seminar 2026 — Registration Now Open!
Topic — Best Practices in Behavioral Assessment and Treatment
Regardless of our role, we should all continuously strive to implement best practices when supporting someone who may have behaviors that are challenging or not yet understood. This training will focus on ways that, within your role, you can ensure that the behavioral support you are providing is sound, appropriate, and implemented with fidelity and integrity. ODP will offer two tracks held across different days and times that focus on the role you play in this process.
Please choose 1 date for the appropriate track that best represents your role. There is no cost to attend the training, but pre-registration is required.
Note: Both tracks will provide best practice information grounded in peer-reviewed and evidence-based research and will not address ODP program-specific service definitions, procedures, or guidelines.
Track 1 is for any Behavioral Specialist (and their supervisors) who completes behavioral assessments, develops behavioral plans, and trains others on the implementation of the plan. This session will discuss best practices to conduct better assessments and develop better behavioral support plans while acknowledging barriers and pitfalls to these processes.
Virtual Session on Microsoft Teams. Please attend only 1 session. All sessions will cover the same material.
