What you will study

• Autism is a pervasive disorder that impacts 1 out of 59 children in the United States. Given the rising need for intervention, service delivery providers are faced with many challenges to support children and families.
• Direct care staff are required to deliver evidence-based interventions and daily instruction that may lead to emotional and physical burn-out. Agencies and schools are faced with delivering high-quality staff training and support systems to ensure direct care staff are provided with the necessary tools and motivation to maintain staff satisfaction and reduce high rates of staff turnover.
• This Burning the Candle at Both Ends course offered by the University of New Brunswick will review evidence-based practices for supporting staff through many stressors. The topics discussed will be primarily based in behavior analysis.
