Inequality makes us unwell. Research that has investigated inequality and social outcomes in “developed” nations demonstrates that the frequency of mental health problems are highest in nations with the greatest inequality. In almost all health professions across Canada and the United States, social injustice is considered to have an impact “out there.” What if social inequality is in fact embedded in the way we learn to care for and support our clients in our own field? The purpose of this training is to begin critically addressing our own blindspots as clinicians and leaders in our profession. As we begin to increase and deepen our awareness, we will see with increasing clarity the myriad of ways social inequality affects an individual and family. These new insights will enable us to better understand our clients and deliver more effective and efficient clinical services.
The training will be divided into four 4-hour sessions, held one time per month, for a total of 16 hours of training.
Each session will be 9:00 am to 1:00 pm on March 12, April 16, May 14, and June 11.

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. 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.

Modern technologies such as applications, hardware, and adaptive devices can help persons with autism learn new skills and provide opportunities for practice, application, and problem-solving. These tools can help learners schedule their day, participate in socialization opportunities with peers close by or across the globe, help and even help them find a voice. We now can know in “real time” what’s been learned or still needs to be taught or use sensors and other devices to know when things might need attention.

This two-day workshop, featuring Richard Stock, PhD, BCBA-D, will focus on using Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) methods to support students with autism from Kindergarten to Grade 12; in particular, those who are moderately to severely impacted by their autism.
While many educators are familiar with early behavioral intervention using discrete trial teaching, the science of ABA has much more to offer teachers who are responsible for the education of students with autism and related disorders. This workshop aims to expand your conceptualization of ABA in ways that are practical in the regular classroom.
