    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.

    Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2025

    Time: 3:00 – 4:00 PM EST

    Credits: 1 General CEU


    Are your assessments leading to meaningful change?


    Choosing the right assessment is the foundation for creating effective interventions. In this first installment of a two-part series,     Libby Curts, MA, BCBA, explores how behavior analysts can move beyond insurance mandates and outdated habits to select assessments that truly serve their clients' individual needs.

    We’ll dig into how assessments can be used not only to measure progress—but to drive socially significant outcomes, with the ultimate goal of promoting independence and reducing the need for long-term clinical support.

    As Skinner (1975) stated, “One has most effectively helped others when one can stop helping them altogether" (p. 63).

    What You Will Learn:

    • Define the purpose of conducting skill assessments
    • Name various types of assessments commonly used in ABA
    • Differentiate between norm-referenced and criterion-referenced assessments
    • Identify which assessments are most appropriate for learners at different skill levels


    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.

    Journal Club: “Hey you!”: An Extension of the Speaker Immersion Protocol to Recruit the Attention of a Listener

    Cost: $10

    Ever wonder how to increase spontaneous mands and tacts in children with autism? We got you covered in this Journal Club! Join Victoria Verdun, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA, Clinical Director, as we review research that extended the Speaker Immersion Protocol (SIP) by incorporating recruitment for social attention. Speaker Immersion involved structured opportunities to engage either attentive communication partners, diverted within proximity, or diverted outside the immediate area. Results demonstrate increased frequency and quality of spontaneous verbal requests. Participants more consistently initiated bids for attention in contexts where the listener’s attention was not immediately available. This CEU will review the findings that suggest that SIP with social recruitment can improve both the quantity and social appropriateness of communication in children with ASD. We will also discuss ideas on how the SIP can be incorporated into practice with the author of this article. 

    What you will learn

    • State the Basics of Speaker Immersion Protocol (SIP)
    • Describe the Study’s Methodology and Phases of SIP 
    • Evaluate the Results and Effectiveness of the Extended SIP Approach
    • Identify Practical Implications for Clinical Practice
    • Explore Recommendations for Future Research and Practice
