West Coast Autism Conference

Students on the autism spectrum and those with behavioral challenges often present with difficulty regulating their feelings and interacting socially. This workshop describes how to handle meltdowns and design effective behavior plans to prevent these moments and reduce frustration and anxiety. The second part of the presentation details strategies to motivate students to learn, ways to teach social skills, how to generalize skills into the natural setting and increase acceptance and tolerance from peers. Information will be imparted though lecture, interactive exercises, and video clips. Come and learn practical strategies for your practice, classroom or home that will empower your patient, student or child to succeed.

With the demand for autism experts and autism therapists on the rise, it is more important than ever for teachers and health professionals to have some form of ASD training. At IBCCES, we are committed to providing professional development training through our Autism Certification.

Providers’ Conference

Our Global Providers’ Conference is our biggest and most exciting event every year! Join practitioners of Social Thinking from around the world to share ideas, network, and learn new strategies. As the “Social Thinking movement” grows, this annual conference has been essential for sharing best practices and creative strategies that attendees then implement in their communities across the globe. Please note that our Providers’ Conference isn’t for those just beginning to use Social Thinking. It is intended for those who are well versed in the methodology, have been using it in their school, clinic, home, or community, and would like to expand their skill set and be inspired by new ideas.

The theme this year is Perspectives, with a special focus on Applying the Social Thinking Methodology School-Wide. On Friday and Sunday, a variety of speakers will present on a wide array of topics, and Saturday will offer a full day of keynotes from thought leaders in the field. You won’t want to miss it!
