Beyond Behaviorism RePlay (Multiuser Registration)
We are excited to have you join us for this special event! Whoever the humans you work with and support, we will all benefit by moving beyond behaviorism to trauma-informed, neuroscience-aligned, neurodiversity-affirming, relationship-driven, and collaborative approaches.
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Dates: Friday, May 9th and Wednesday, May 14th, 2025
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time/United States)
Cost: $79 (includes 6 months of access to the recordings)
The Beyond Behaviorism Conference will focus on understanding the controversy and exploring alternatives to approaches based on behaviorism. Here are some of the topics we will be addressing at the conference:
Rethinking behavior management: Moving beyond traditional behaviorist approaches to understanding the underlying causes of behaviors, including neurodiversity, sensory processing, and trauma-informed perspectives.
Critiques of ABA and reward-based systems: Exploring the limitations and potential harm of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and extrinsic reward systems, particularly for neurodivergent individuals.
Neurodiversity-affirming practices: Learning strategies to create inclusive, supportive environments that respect and accommodate diverse neurotypes without focusing on compliance or behavior modification.
Trauma-informed care for neurodivergent individuals: Presentations will address how trauma affects neurodivergent people differently and how to implement trauma-sensitive approaches in education and therapy.
Alternative frameworks and tools: Discovering new models like the NeuroRelational Framework, Universal Design for Learning, and restorative practices to support all learners and promote authentic engagement without relying on behaviorist techniques.
