Behavior Frontiers Response
8yBehavior Frontiers is committed to providing a significant amount of initial and on-going training to ensure that we provide a high-quality service to the clients whom we serve. New behavior instructors receive both classroom instruction, featuring video demonstrations, as well as hands-on, role-play activities covering the following topics: autism, the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA), discrete trial teaching (DTT), naturalistic teaching strategies (NATS), data collection, behavior reduction techniques, ethical issues, and more. We also provide competency-based, field training, in which trainees have the opportunity to overlap with senior behavior instructors, while using ABA methods with clients, until they have demonstrated competency to work independently. The combination of both classroom and field training, which Behavior Frontiers utilizes, has been shown to be the most effective way to train!
