Summary
Children diagnosed with autism tend to require explicit planning to be embedded into instruction and programming to form generalization skills of concepts in their environment (Froelich, et al, 2012). To combat this deficit, it is important for practitioners to develop and use meaningful sets of stimuli when teaching a concept. Visual stimuli play a critical role in teaching concepts through tacts, listener behavior and matching. A concept is said to have “must haves” and “can haves” which include the critical and variable features necessary for a concept to be formed (Layng, 2018). This webinar will focus on the application of stimulus control in teaching everyday concepts, the selection of appropriate stimulus examples to teach a concept, and empowering practitioners to consider these elements at the onset of their program planning.
