Assess, Plan, Do, Review (APDR) is a key process to identify, support and monitor children’s level of need with accessing their learning at school. It is a key part of the graduated response, which we’ve talked about on a previous post. It helps us make decisions about what extra support is needed, and whether children need to receive targeted or specialist educational supports. ASSESS Teacher and caregiver assessments/experiences/knowledge of the child are used along with relevant specialist assessments, caregiver and child views and experiences and external advice (where appropriate) are used to assess a child’s current skill level. PLAN Caregivers and the child are involved in deciding the evidence-based intervention(s), support and reasonable adjustments for children needed. Focussed outcomes and a review date are agreed. DO The agreed intervention/provision(s) take place with the impact monitored and recorded. Further assessments may be required. REVIEW An evaluation of the support - has it helped? Caregivers and the child feed back into the cycle to decide if further assessments are needed and to modify outcomes. Children may go back to accessing universal supports only, continue to receive targeted support or move on to more specialist supports.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our **new ABA Parent Training Curriculum**, designed to enhance collaboration between clinicians and parents, making behavior interventions more effective and sustainable. 🌟 **Why This Matters:** As ABA professionals, we know that successful behavior change doesn’t happen in isolation. The role of parents and caregivers is essential in ensuring that the skills we teach in the clinic extend into daily life. This curriculum will empower parents with the knowledge, strategies, and confidence they need to support their child’s progress at home. 💡 **What’s Included:** - Step-by-step guides for parents on key ABA principles - Interactive workshops to foster parent engagement - Tools to monitor progress and celebrate success - Strategies for managing challenging behaviors in real-world situations 👨👩👧👦 **Building Parent Buy-In:** Parent involvement is critical, but gaining their trust and commitment can be challenging. Our curriculum focuses on making ABA accessible, approachable, and directly tied to the goals families care about most. By equipping parents with practical skills, we can foster stronger partnerships between families and clinicians, leading to more meaningful and lasting outcomes. 🌱 **Clinicians: Let’s Collaborate!** Join us in utilizing this curriculum to build stronger relationships with the families we serve. Together, we can ensure that the incredible progress made in sessions carries over into everyday life! #ABA #ParentTraining #AutismSupport #BehaviorAnalysis #ClinicianCollaboration #FamilyFirst #ABAParentTraining #AppliedBehaviorAnalysis #ParentBuyIn --- This post balances the benefits for both clinicians and parents, emphasizing collaboration and practical application, which is crucial for generating buy-

As we prepare for a new school year, many families/parents/ caregivers are beginning to think about how we move conversations forward about our children and their learning experience at school. An excellent article published last fall in The New Yorker magazine (“Can Teachers and Parents Get Better at Talking to One Another?”) highlighted some key insights about bidirectional communication practices between home and school. One key takeaway: establishing rapport and building trust early between families and classrooms, through informal conversation, was an essential foundation for connecting about other events, developments, or concerns later in the school year. Today’s webinar, “How to Talk to Teachers”, hosted by author / educator Lia De Cicco Remu and Martha Jez from Fair Chance Learning, served as a helpful refresher. I also thought Lia’s new book on this topic might generate productive conversations among parent / caregiver advisory groups, such as School Councils and school district Parent Involvement Committees - enhancing the terrific work that many of these bodies are already doing about communication between home and school. Thank you, Lia and Martha, for engaging today’s session and highlighting some of the considerations that are worth noting about positive families -school communication!

As key members of an adolescent’s healthcare team, practitioners in the fields of nursing, social work, medicine, and interprofessional care have an obligation to help prevent and reduce substance use with their young patients. Asking about substance use and discussing its impact can prevent many harmful effects to the adolescent’s developing brain and potential future.   Current and future generations of healthcare professionals need to learn the skills to have essential conversations with adolescents and young adults about substance use. In response to this need, NORC, Kognito, and many other partners developed the Adolescent Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Curriculum to assist educators, practitioners, and trainers with seamlessly implementing adolescent SBIRT training.   As an educator or trainer, you can access the entire skills-based Adolescent SBIRT Curriculum, which includes: ·     300+ page Learner’s Guide and companion slide decks ·     Trainer’s Guide for virtual or in-person instruction ·     four-part on demand educational series Using SBIRT to Talk to Adolescents about Substance Use ·     state-of-the-art SBI with Adolescents and SBI with Adolescents: Comorbid Substance Use and Mental Health online simulation training programs Learn more about the Adolescent SBIRT Curriculum at https://lnkd.in/enveueJ8. #teens #drugs #alcohol #mentalhealth #SBIRT
