Three moves for the first minute of a hard task

A free 45-minute live session for paraprofessionals, aides and the teachers they work beside. You leave with three things you can try with one student the next day, and a simple way to see whether they helped.

4:15 to 5:00 PM Pacific · 6:15 to 7:00 PM Central · 7:15 to 8:00 PM Eastern
Online in Microsoft Teams. Free. Presented by Jeff Kasik, BCBA.

The 45 minutes

01What we cover

  • Help the student get it right the first time. Errorless teaching and prompting: enough help for the student to succeed, then less help over time.
  • More chances to respond. Active student responding: many short chances to answer, in formats a paraprofessional can run without changing the teacher's lesson.
  • When behavior gets in the way, look at what happens just before and just after. What to notice and write down, and what to bring to the teacher or the team.
  • See whether it worked. Two numbers to write down for a few days, and how to graph them with our free ABA Behavior Data Graphing Tool.

Then live questions with Jeff.

Who it is for

02Built for the adults beside the student

Paraprofessionals, instructional aides and assistants, one-to-one aides, and the classroom and special education teachers who work with them. No background in behavior analysis is needed. Come on your own or bring your team.
