Getting More with Less Using Matrix Training

Includes a Live Web Event on 07/22/2026 at 3:00 PM (EDT)

Teach less. Get more.

That's the promise of matrix training, and the research backs it up. Join us for a free CEU from a researcher who has spent her career closing the gap between what the evidence shows and what actually happens in the room.

Getting More with Less Using Matrix Training

Date: Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Time: 3-4:30 p.m. EDT | 1-2:30 p.m. MDT
CEU: 1.5 Learning
Cost: Free
Presenter: Sarah E. Frampton, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA Assistant Professor, University of Nebraska Omaha | ABA Master's Program, Munroe Meyer Institute Associate Editor, Behavior Analysis Practice | Editorial Boards, JABA, AVB, JEAB

What This Session Covers

Time is limited. Instructional minutes are finite. Matrix training is one of the most efficient tools in the behavior analytic toolkit for getting learning to generalize well beyond what you directly teach, and it is underused in practice.

In this session, Dr. Sarah Frampton walks through recent applications of matrix training to teach complex tacts to children with ASD. You will leave with a clear understanding of the underlying principles, the key steps to set up a matrix arrangement, and practical troubleshooting strategies for when things do not go as planned.

What You'll Learn

How to describe and apply matrix training to teach complex tacts
How to arrange compound stimuli into effective matrix teaching arrangements
Two common barriers to acquisition efficiency and how to troubleshoot them
How to personalize procedures to match individual learner needs
