1 Center for Autism and Related Disabilities 17 th Annual Autism Conference Keynote: Differential Reinforcement as Treatment for Severe Behavior Presenter: Timothy R. Vollmer, Ph.D. BCBA-D Description: The presenter will review the scientific evidence that severe problem behavior is primarily learned, operant behavior. Then he will propose and provide evidence for a model of intervention based on differential reinforcement. The general theme is that we need to search for ways to make desired behavior pay off more, and dangerous behavior pay off less. Objectives/Outcomes: 1. provide examples of problem behavior that is inadvertently reinforced via socially mediated contingencies 2. define differential reinforcement of alternative behavior in cases when extinction cannot be included as a component of the intervention 3. describe methods to treat escape-maintained behavior via use of positive reinforcement Target Audience: Parents, General Education Teachers, Special Education Teachers, Related Service Providers, Paraprofessionals, and Behavior Analysts Timothy R. Vollmer Financial Dr. Vollmer receives an honoraria from the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities for presenting at the 17 th Annual Autism Conference.

Chong, Ph.D., BCBA-D Description: Despite earlier diagnosis and tremendous advances in behavior analytic interventions, there remains a relatively large gap in access to appropriate behavioral services. Highlighting the critical role of early assessment and intervention in ameliorating the symptoms of ASD, this presentation will focus on the power of behavior analysis by describing a range of evidence-based procedures and programs to increase necessary skills. Skilled behavior analytic practice requires expertise in the basic science of operant behavior, methods of measuring and evaluating change, technology of ABA, and its conceptual framework.
