Empowering People Through Assent & Consent in ABA - Dr T. Wade Brown and Dr Randi Melvin-Brown
Over two sessions we will explore the incorporation of assent-based treatment for those receiving Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) services.
Empowering People Through Assent & Consent in ABA - Part 1 (3 Ethics CPDs)
We will lay the groundwork for framing programs with assent, assent withdrawal, and contributions of those receiving services as a priority. Participants will discuss the advantages of using assent-based services, strategies for building/maintaining assent-based protocols, and the importance of such considerations with respect to practicing compassionately. We will also provide examples of these concepts in relationship to our ethical standards.
Empowering People Through Assent & Consent in ABA - Part 2 (3 Ethics CPDs)
We will continue this dialog and provide practice opportunities for goal writing, problem-solving real-world examples, and setting a goals for ourselves to move forward with kindness and assent/consent.
Learning Objectives Over Both Sessions
- Participants will be able to discuss the advantages of using assent-based interventions.
- Participants will identify signs of assent-withdrawal and discuss strategies to build further rapport.
- Participants will be able to discuss the advantages of incorporating compassionate-based care into their practice.
- Participants will develop strategies to incorporate assent-based protocols into their practice of ABA.
- Participants will practice writing goals that maintain person served dignity and target assent within the objective.
