EITA Training Announcement - Care-Providers Are People Too: Using Daily Routines to Embed Opportunities to Support and Learn
The Bureau of Early Intervention Services and Family Supports is pleased to announce the following training opportunity:
Care-Providers Are People Too: Using Daily Routines to Embed Opportunities to Support and Learn
Date, Time, and Location: Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 1:30-3:00PM, Virtual Webinar
Description of the Training: People who care for individuals with Autism, Developmental Disorders, and/or Intellectual Disabilities (i.e., care-providers) are frequently under a great deal of stress. Despite this stress, they are often asked to adhere to procedures for which they may have no formal training including behavioral interventions, medical interventions, speech/language interventions, occupational and physical therapy, and many others. It is often assumed that care-providers are well positioned to implement this wide range of interventions without coaching, support or feedback.
The presenter, who is a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, will make a case that expectations for care-providers can and should be managed (at least in the area of behavioral interventions) such that expectations are much more reasonable, without compromising the learning and well-being of the child. He will cite and explain the vast literature base supporting simplified, fun, healthy, and engaging activities that consider the wellbeing of care-providers along with the wellbeing of individuals we serve.
