In this episode of the EarliPoint Exchange, Dr. Cheryl Tierney and Kirsten Yurich, BCBA, are joined by Dr. Ami Klin, a leader in developmental neuroscience and autism research, and Dr. Caio Miguel, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Verbal Behavior Research Lab at California State University, Sacramento.
This conversation bridges the gap between early social attention differences and the development of generative language in children with autism. Dr. Klin will discuss foundational work in early social engagement and its role in autism identification, while Dr. Miguel will explore how behavior analytic approaches can assess and teach generative language skills using naturalistic, developmentally informed strategies.
The discussion will highlight how advances in neuroscience, behavioral science, and assessment are converging to inform earlier, more precise, and more effective intervention models.
The webinar will be held on May 26th, from 12PM-1PM, and includes 1 BACB® GEN CEU. Attendance is included free with a BehaviorLive subscription, and registrants will also have access to the recorded session on-demand for CEUs.
