Moving from 1:1 to Group Learning

ABA can be used in 1:1 or group model. Understand ASD & the research on group learning and learn to assess for group readiness and learning.

Deficits in social interaction and communication skills are the common impairment shared by all individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), regardless of cognitive or language ability. While many learners with autism are provided individual, or one-to-one, instruction throughout much of their day, moving to group instructional formats provides many positive benefits. Experienced BCBA Kelly Birmingham provides an in-depth overview of assessing readiness and transitioning your client(s) to group learning.
