Care-Providers Are People Too: Using Daily Routines to Embed Opportunities to Support and Learn

Wellbeing of Care-providers and Those We Serve

People who care for individuals with Autism, Developmental Disorders, and/or Intellectual Disabilities (i.e., care-providers) are frequently under a great deal of stress. Despite this stress, they are often asked to adhere to procedures for which they may have no formal training including behavioral interventions, medical interventions, speech/language interventions, occupational and physical therapy, and many others. It is often assumed that care-providers are well positioned to implement this wide range of interventions without coaching, support or feedback.

The presenter, who is a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, will make a case that expectations for care-providers can and should be managed (at least in the area of behavioral interventions) such that expectations are much more reasonable, without compromising the learning and well-being of the child. He will cite and explain the vast literature base supporting simplified, fun, healthy, and engaging activities that consider the wellbeing of care-providers along with the wellbeing of individuals we serve.

Presenter: Dr. Timothy R. Vollmer, Ph.D., BCBA-D, University of Florida

Target Audience: This webinar is designed for Infant Toddler and Preschool Early Interventionists and Family Support/Home Visiting Staff.
