November Research Spotlight Strengthening Client Outcomes Through Play and Routine

CEU Credits: 0.5 Learning CEU
Presented by: Lauren D’Amato, PhD, BCBA-D. Vice President, Clinical Research

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.
