Workshop: Behavioural
Intervention for Young Children with Autism -
The evidence for Applied Behavioural
Analysis
From The Chief Executive Officer
Autism SA is committed to presenting a wide range of training and development activities covering various interventions for people on the Autism Spectrum. We are very pleased to present a one day workshop by Dr Gina Green whose speciality lies in Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) techniques.
She has extensive experience and expertise in all aspects of autism, and learning as affected by autism, as well as in scientific practice, the evaluation of therapies and ethical issues.
She is also recognised as a leader in the teaching of language, social skills and dealing with the stereotyping of those with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I can highly recommend attendance by parents and professionals who are using ABA techniques, or who wish to explore the possibilities of this intervention.
Once again Autism SA is committed to making this opportunity as affordable
as possible to families and people registered for services. There are
also significant discounts for Financial Members of Autism SA.
