Abstract

The mission of the Balance Program is to prevent the worsening of early problem behavior in young children with autism via a proactive, skill-building approach. The program consists of 10 customizable lessons, rooted in years of behavioral and early childhood research. Parents serve as the primary implementers with intermittent support from a professional, making the program a good option when access to behavior analytic services is limited—for example, in areas without qualified local professionals, during public health-related shutdowns, or when a child is on a waitlist for comprehensive services. This webinar provides a detailed examination of the program, including the rationale for and research supporting its components. Participants will receive manuals for parents and professionals with step-by-step instructions, data sheets, session logs, and tips. The webinar will also highlight electronic data collection and collaboration options via the new Balance Program app on the web platform Hi Rasmus.

Objectives

  1. Participants will be able to describe the purpose of the Balance Program and the clients for whom it is designed.
  2. Participants will be able to distinguish between short-term avoidance and prevention strategies and be able to describe the research support for individual and packaged components of the Balance program.
  3. Participants will be able to describe the initial assessment process and the parent and child objectives in each of the Balance Program’s ten lessons.
  4. Participants will be able to describe the general visit structure and major activities for each visit.
