Overview
What you will study
Tools will be provided in the Implementing Meaningful and Respectful Interventions course offered by University of New Brunswick to empower parents to advocate for goals that are highly individualized and important to them. Additionally, supports will be outlined to help professionals work with parents throughout this goal selection process to promote social validity and the best outcomes possible for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities.
Examples and non-examples of functional, socially valid goals will be presented, as well as recommendations on how to individualize goal writing and apply clinical judgment to use assessments and curricula as guides and not roadmaps. The focus will be on the dynamic nature of meaningful outcomes for individuals with disabilities across the lifespan. Methods to create programming to support meaningful goals will be shared, as well as recommendations regarding use of individualized strengths and learning style within teaching applied skills.
