Assessment and Treatment of Stereotypy in Individuals with Autism Presented by: Geoffrey DeBery, M.A., BCBA     Session one: 04/29/2014 12:00pm-1:00pm EST  OR Session two: 04/29/2014 7:00pm-8:00pm EST   Description:  Excess in stereotyped behaviors, interests and activities is a behavioral impairment that is necessary for a diagnosis of autism. In many individuals with autism this impairment manifests as stereotypy (i.e., stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms). Several decades of research in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) have yielded many effective assessment methodologies and treatment strategies that are successful in reducing stereotypy in individuals with autism. This presentation will provide an overview of stereotypy as well as a thorough description of the evidence-based assessments and treatments for stereotypy using case studies and citations of scientific literature wherever possible. Experience Level: Basic to Intermediate. Procedures will be discussed in detail using behavioral terminology. However, behavioral terms will be translated for unfamiliar audiences when needed. Target Audience: Behavior Analysts, parents and autism professionals. CEUs provided for BCBAs.  Click Here to Register for Session one OR Click Here to Register for Session Two
