Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a behavioral approach to enhancing quality of life and well-being, by increasing psychological flexibility and resilience in the face of adversity. Although behavioral parenting approaches have strong empirical evidence, many do not explicitly address the role of private events in parenting behavior. ACT offers us a way to understand the role of verbal stimuli and verbal behavior in parenting (such as problematic rule-deriving and rule-following), in the service of promoting flexible, values-consistent, responsive parenting practices across contexts. ACT is part of a growing body of literature on “third-wave” behavior therapies rooted in behavior analysis, and empirical support, across a broad range of settings and populations, continues to grow (Gloster et al., 2020). Research examining the application of ACT within ABA settings is still in its infancy, however this talk will illustrate how this approach holds promise for practitioners working with families of children with autism. Relevant theoretical and empirical literature will be reviewed, including a recent study demonstrating the effects of ACT on values-directed parent behavior (Gould, Tarbox, & Coyne, 2018). The talk will also illustrate key components of an ACT-based approach to parenting and the potential benefits of combining traditional ABA strategies with ACT when working with families.
Training will consist of one 2 hour webinar, hosted by BC-ABA. BC-ABA will handle all webinar and CEU administration.
