Rethinking Staff Motivation and Retention
April 4, 2019
We are in the midst of the worst staffing crisis we’ve ever seen. How do we retain employees when we are so short on staff? How do we change our on- boarding process to get staff in the door and keep them? This webinar will teach you viable alternatives to currently- utilized motivational practices on 3 levels: individual, interpersonal, and organizational. Learn to create a “better team” that is not focused on negativity or a lack of money and technology but instead on making a difference.
Helping Families Decide If a Service Dog is Right for Them
April 25, 2019
Service dogs and emotional support animals are everywhere these days. Who can they help? What can they do (and what can’t they do)? How do people pay for them? Where do you start looking? Before a family makes the decision to bring a service dog home, some hard questions need to be asked and answered. This session gives professionals those questions, and discusses the implications of all the possible answers, so you can best support the family in making the right decision for them.

Mental Illness in Individuals with IDD: Part One
May 23, 2019
The increasing number of individuals with dual diagnosis of mental illness (MI) and intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD) in the IDD system, coupled with a lack of staff training on how to work with the complex and sometimes challenging behaviors these individuals present, lead us to ask ourselves, “Are we recognizing mental health issues in individuals with IDD? And if so, are we meeting these individuals’ needs?”

Part 1: Prevalence, Steps to Diagnosis, What mental illnesses look like in IDD, and Anxiety Disorders in IDD

DOING WHAT WORKS: PRAGMATIC APPROACHES TO SUPPORTING
STAFF IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS
Friday, July 26, 2019
As a behavior analyst, do you design interventions that are carried out by direct support personnel in day programs and/or CILAs?
DSPs in these settings have a myriad of other responsibilities to fulfill on a daily basis, in addition to responding to behaviors the way we recommend.
This workshop can assist you in writing behavior plans with this particular challenge in mind, and therefore ensuring interventions are carried out with greater integrity.
