Title: High School Success – Not an Option!
Presenter: Tara Epp, Department Head, Student Services Department Holy Trinity Academy, Okotoks, Alberta, Canada
Abstract: Holy Trinity Academy has offered an after-school homework program for the last few years designed by Tara for students on the autism spectrum. The program helps alleviate stress regarding school work both at home and in the school environment while helping to build relationships and strengthen social skills. This webinar outlines the inspiration for the program, the working structure of the program and the documented success of the program with the hope that others may find this working model to be beneficial to their learning environments.

Launch the webinar: Receptive Language Skills: Addressing Faulty Stimulus Control
Yvonne Lam, M.A., BCBA, Receptive language involves a learner responding to the vocal verbal behavior of others (Grow & LeBlanc,2013). Deficits in receptive language may result in challenges in a variety of other skill areas such as academics (e.g., reading, writing, and math) and social skills (e.g., following simple instructions, responding to one’s name, receptive identification by name, feature, function, and class). While teaching receptive language skills, errors related to faulty stimulus control are particularly problematic. This webinar will review antecedent-based approaches and consequence-based approaches (i.e., error correction procedures) that are often used to address persistent errors and/or faulty stimulus control.
