    Presented by: Chrissy Barosky, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LABA (MA, TX, UT), LBA (RI, NC, IN), Chief Clinical Officer


    Stimulus control is the foundation of language learning, but when it’s faulty, we risk teaching rote responses instead of language that can be applied outside of the teaching setting.

We’ll break down the difference between simple and conditional discrimination, show you how to design instructional sequences that promote generalization, and walk through strategies to avoid overselectivity and other common pitfalls.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Define stimulus control and identify faulty stimulus control
    • Distinguish between simple and conditional discrimination
    • Define concept formation and its role in language programming
    • Design instructional procedures that support generalization and discrimination

    Course Description:

    Meet PEBBL — Progress through Evidence-Based Behavior Lab.

    It’s the new name for our Clinical Research & Innovation Lab and our next step in raising the bar for autism care. PEBBL is our practice-embedded research engine that turns everyday, play-based sessions into insights we can use, share, and scale. The name is a nod to a penguin’s pebble, a small, well-placed actions that build something lasting. It’s exactly how we approach progress for kids and for our craft.

    This month’s CEU celebrates that same spirit of discovery.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • How mirror-based instruction can strengthen imitation and engagement
    • Practical ways to blend play, movement, and routine to build independence
    • How enriched environments can reduce behavioral challenges and enhance learning

    Developing independence in children with autism often requires blending structure and play in ways that feel natural and motivating. This session highlights small, intentional adjustments that lead to measurable improvements in confidence, engagement, and success—both in the clinic and beyond.

    Join us as we launch PEBBL and continue creating Progress and Possibilities®, one well-placed pebble at a time.

    Contains 4 Component(s)

    This CEU dives into the ethical considerations and clinical responsibilities involved in assessment-driven intervention planning.

    Join Bierman Autism Centers for a Virtual BCBA Supervision CEU Event

    Assessment to Intervention Planning: Creating Socially Significant Change by Choosing the Correct Assessment and Designing Individualized Goals – Part 2


    How do we ensure the goals we set truly matter?

    This CEU, led by Abby Conley, MS, BCBA, dives into the ethical considerations and clinical responsibilities involved in assessment-driven intervention planning. Far too often, goals are selected based on convenience, insurance mandates, or familiarity with a specific tool—rather than what is most meaningful for the individual learner.

    You’ll explore how to interpret assessment results with intention, and use that data to develop customized, socially significant goals that promote real-world progress. The session will also examine how the goals we select can either limit or empower a learner’s path toward greater independence—and why ethics must be a guiding force in that process.

    Whether you're new to assessment planning or looking to enhance your ethical decision-making, this session will challenge you to think critically about the tools you use, the goals you choose, and the lasting impact those choices can have.

    What You Will Learn:

    • Define socially significant goals and why they matter
    • Describe how to read and interpret assessment results
    • Create individualized treatment goals that are grounded in real data

    Why Attend?

    Clinicians at Bierman Autism Centers are committed to delivering data-informed, client-centered care that leads to meaningful progress. This CEU will provide tools to help align assessment selection with each learner’s long-term goals, supporting the development of interventions that promote lasting, socially significant change.

    Whether you're fine-tuning your own assessment practices or guiding others in goal development, this session offers practical strategies and fresh perspectives to help you think critically about the tools you choose—and the outcomes you strive to achieve.
