FOCUS day camps offer the care children need – and the fun children deserve!
Children with multiple disabilities have few opportunities to attend summer camp; their medical, physical, or cognitive needs cannot be managed by most camps. FOCUS cares about the safety of your child, while offering fun activities that everyone will love.
With recent issues surrounding myths and misconceptions of ABA, it is timely to find ways to develop partnerships with the neurodiverse community. This workshop highlights areas of research from within and outside of behavior analysis to help foster a community where multiple voices are heard. Additionally, as a field of behavior analysis, we need to use our science to provide a contingency analytic framework for fostering belonging.
This workshop introduces a comprehensive framework to engage with and support autistic individuals and communities effectively. Participants will gain access to tools for conducting person-centered assessments, setting individualized goals, and implementing strength-based interventions to foster genuine community, social connection, and a sense of belonging among autistic populations. Strategies for promoting social inclusion and belonging will be presented, focusing on achieving genuine assent, tailoring interventions, and fostering collaborative approaches with families and communities. The tools and strategies discussed will be framed within a compassionate approach to clinical practice and will prioritize inclusive practices for all individuals within the autistic population.
