We also provide continuing education and staff development programs for professionals working with children with developmental disabilities. See topic list below.

About the Program
Our mission is to provide evidence-based technical assistance and training to school and community agencies regarding the educational and behavioral support of children with disabilities. Our goals are to increase the capacity of school or agency personnel to support their own students. We assist in the development and implementation of programs aimed at decreasing challenging behavior and increasing positive social and academic skills. We also ensure that children with challenging learning needs receive appropriate instruction and services to maximize independence.

Our Team
All consultants are faculty in the Department of Pediatrics and are specifically skilled at working with teams to translate current research into best practices in school, home and community settings. Our consultants have extensive training and experience in Clinical and School Psychology, Applied Behavior Analysis and Education. Our consultants have expertise in a broad range of developmental disabilities, including:

Additional Opportunities
Through the Warner School of Education, we offer a course sequence in Autism Spectrum Disorders and Applied Behavior Analysis for certification as a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst. Both the course sequence and practicum are approved by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board. Supervision is also available within the community for practicum experiences for BCABAs.
