Autism Weekly

This week we are back with part 2 of our conversation with Johanna Staubitz, also known as Joey, who is an assistant professor of the practice in Vanderbilt University's Department of Special Education.

Last Week Recap Topics

1. The contrast between physical guidance and strictness in teaching methods.
2. The importance of building a strong relationship with students or adults when trying to teach or effect behavior change.
3. The need to establish trust and vulnerability in the exchange of information.
4. Identifying tangible goals that matter to the teacher or adult involved.
5. The use of communication skill teaching, such as Functional Communication Training (FCT), to help students express their needs effectively.
6. Anchoring the process to long-term goals, even when certain procedures seem odd.
7. The existence of a "peace corner" in classrooms, which can be used as a starting point for teaching choice and communication.

Joey's experience as a former special education teacher and school-based behavior analyst guides her approach to practitioner preparation and scientific inquiry. She's also a researcher who focuses on adapting and evaluating intervention procedures to support the social, emotional, and academic skills of children with emotional and behavioral disorders in special education settings. Today we will be discussing Adapting Assessment and Intervention Procedures for Children with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders. Download to learn more!
