Live Workshop: Unpacking the Behavioral Health Index (BHI): A Pragmatic Tool for Stakeholder Communication
This workshop will orient the attendee to the Behavioral Health Index (BHI), a relatively novel approach to a holistic view of child well-being that is garnering much-deserved attention in the behavior analytic community and beyond. Intentionally designed for ease of use, the BHI casts a "net" of domain-specific risk and protective factors for a child and a clear, go-forward course of action to support the most significantly impacted areas. Attendees will learn, start to finish, the way(s) in which the BHI may be administered and integrated into their practice, making them a more dynamic clinician, while maintaining a compassionate and pragmatic stance.

Live Webinar: Creating an Empathetic Work Environment
People choose to work with you. We hire people, but they choose to onboard and/or stay. The environment you create defines how long someone stays and whether they are happy there. During this workshop, you will learn how to create the foundation for an empathetic work environment. An empathetic work environment values employee voices, supports a work-life balance, and creates a space where it's safe to communicate and collaborate as a team. You will learn strategies to create a positive work environment, foster healthy communication and collaboration, and design a place that people want to be a part of. Learn More and Join Us!
Live Webinar: Creating an Effective Work Culture
Despite having the best-qualified people on a clinical team, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain a cultural balance within the workplace. Finding ways in which the dynamics within an organization can maintain integrity as well as consistency may help promote more influence in creating and maintaining a functional culture within the workplace. Additionally, open communication and creating a safe and inclusive environment can help others feel valued. Feeling of value and empowerment is important in the clinical work that we do. It goes a long way to establish trust with your colleagues. There are a lot of misconceptions regarding creating boundaries within the work environment, while that is true, there is a way to maintain the boundaries as well as create a culture that will strive for the best outcomes.

Live Workshop: VB-MAPP: What Makes this Assessment and Curriculum Guide a Great Choice for Learners with Autism and Developmental Disabilities?
The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program is an assessment and a curriculum guide developed by Dr. Mark Sundberg. It is a widely used language and social skills assessment and program guide for children with autism and other developmental disabilities that compares the level of their language and other skills to neuro-typical peers 0-4 years of age. The VB-MAPP is an easy to use tool that can provide important information to develop meaningful IEP goals and programs. The goal of this workshop is to encourage clinicians to use the VB-MAPP assessment if it is an appropriate tool for their learners. Upon completion, participants will understand: How using Skinner's Analysis of Verbal Behavior in an assessment and curriculum guide provides invaluable information, How to use all the assessments in the VB-MAPP, which are mandatory, and which are optional, Whether the VB-MAPP is appropriate for all learners with autism and developmental disabilities, and How can you use this assessment to create meaningful goals and programs.
