Hidden Learning: How Instructive Feedback Drives Emergent Skills in Autism

Registration Closed

We’re kicking off 2026 with a fresh perspective on how kids learn and how you can teach more effectively without adding to your instructional time.

Join us for a free CEU all about instructive feedback, a powerful but underused tool in ABA that can spark emergent learning and boost generalization with surprising efficiency.

Hidden Learning: How Instructive Feedback Drives Emergent Skills in Autism

Wednesday, January 28, 3 –4 p.m. EST
1 Learning CEU
Cost: Free
Presenter: Lauren D’Amato, PhD, BCBA-D, Vice President of PEBBL

What You’ll Learn

● What instructive feedback is, and why it works

● When untrained, emergent responses are most likely to occur

● How to design and evaluate teaching trials that include instructive feedback

● How to analyze sample data to determine emergent learning

We’ll walk through case examples, interpret research, and give you actionable strategies to incorporate instructive feedback into your existing protocols. It’s an efficient, evidence-based way to make learning stick, and one that can seriously uplevel your programming.

This CEU is ideal for behavior analysts looking to sharpen their instructional design and get more out of every teaching opportunity.
