9:30 AM - 11:30 AM Eastern
To receive a training certificate, attendees must attend both Part 1 and Part 2 virtual sessions. Over the years the prevalence of autism has increased, Pennsylvania’s service delivery system for individuals with autism has expanded, and best practices to provide quality support have emerged. To support the individual needs of each person with autism across the lifespan, an understanding of core characteristics must be established. It is also important to learn how the individual’s presentation of autism may change across settings and situations. This training will provide attendees with an in-depth presentation on core characteristics of autism and the impact of the characteristics on daily life, routines, and activities. A review of common terms and basic principles used to change behavior, teach new skills, and develop practical applications of best practices will be included. An opportunity for discussion and engagement will occur throughout the training in the virtual setting. Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), Front Line Supervisors (FLSs), and Program Managers supporting individuals with autism in residential and other home and community-based settings. Professionals supporting individuals in the Adult Autism Waiver (AAW), Adult Community Autism Program (ACAP), Consolidated, Person/Family- Directed Support Waiver (P/FDS), and Community Living waivers are encouraged to attend.
