Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) in Schools: Interventions for Students and Staff with Dustin Dixon, BCBA

Dustin Dixon, M.Ed, BCBA

Connections Behavior Planning and Intervention is excited to present a Continuing Education webinar for Behavior Analysts!

Abstract:

Behavior Analysts love ABA for the power it offers to reduce suffering and increase joy with the people we serve. Contingency management is the name of the game here: antecedents and consequences, MO’s and reinforcers – these are the tools of our trade. HOWEVER, as any practiced BCBA can attest, these tools have limitations! When direct-contingency management isn’t enough, it’s critical that we have more options.

In this webinar, we will introduce the six core processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with attention to the particular needs and challenges that come with working in schools, and leave attendees with a selection of interventions (research-supported for use in schools) they can start implementing right away.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Name the six core processes in ACT, and define them in behavior-analytic terms
  2. Describe implementation of three ACT-consistent exercises for school staff
  3. Describe implementation of three ACT-consistent exercises for students
