  • Providers building group services and needing a structured model

What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Place Learners into appropriate groups using practical criteria (verbal level, prerequisite skills, behavior risk, learning pace).

  • Select functional, socially valid goals that map to real contexts, not just “conversation drills.”

  • Run group sessions with structure (routines, roles, transitions, reinforcement systems).

  • Teach across verbal levels using evidence-based instructional strategies, including NET, BST, role-play, and group contingencies.

  • Prompt and fade efficiently to avoid prompt dependence and promote independence.

  • Collect clean group data that is feasible for staff and useful for clinical decisions.

  • Program generalization across peers, staff, settings, and naturally occurring opportunities.

How This Course Is Different

Many trainings focus on “what to teach” but not how to run the group when Learners vary widely in communication and learning profiles. This course specifically addresses:

  • Mixed verbal levels in the same service line

  • Placement and grouping decisions

  • Session flow, staff roles, and behavior management

  • Data systems that work in group formatsGeneralization planning from day one

  • Generalization planning from day one
