Event Details
“Supporting Children with Autism in Naturalistic Settings” with Dr. Michael Siller.
During the last decade, autism intervention researchers have increasingly adopted the Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) framework to guide program development. To the extent possible, NDBI-based interventions embed learning opportunities within children’s natural environment, which includes (1) play or familiar daily life routines that are meaningful, rich in affect, and motivating, and (2) quality relationships between child and adult. Dr. Siller describes a program of research that investigates the feasibility and efficacy of embedding naturalistic learning opportunities within (1) parent-child play routines at home, (2) inclusive preschool classrooms, and more recently (3) clinic-based interventions. Barriers, opportunities, and future directions will be discussed.
Lectures are free and open to the public.
