Testimonials

“I love how you explained the 5 pillars of trauma informed care. I did not know there were 5 specific pillars and I think it's so important to be aware as BCBAs that a lot of our population we work deals with trauma.”

-Course attendee

“I'm able to identify my precursor behaviors regarding certain emotions and if I'm in fight, flight or freeze mode. I'm more in tune and once I'm able to recognize, I've been able to take a step back and determine what will best help me regulate in a healthier way. ”

-Course Attendee

“"I had a similar experience when I was an RBT and coaching the parent and other behavior therapists to ignore specific behaviors! This is written out in her BSP and trained by the BCBA at the time! As a BCBA, I do not have planned ignoring in any of my BSPs now."”

-Course attendee

“I was looking into non traditional CEUs and how we can apply Behavior Analysis outside the Autism field and I thoroughly enjoyed how this course does still connect to our “typical” clientele but also with other clientele as well”
