During this workshop, the presenters will cover the following areas: component skill descriptions, the component/composite relationship between skill repertoires and so- cial application, data collection techniques for progress monitoring and methods for empirically validating critical instructional outcomes such as skill retention, endurance, stability , and application where appropriate and/or normative peer co mparisons. Throughout the workshop, actual student performance data and videotapes examples will be used to illus- trate each of the key skills discussed. All participants will receive copies of the workshop handouts along with a CD-Rom containing all workshop materials, including sample videos. Autism/DD / Intermediate Remedial Reading: Diagnosis & Remediation, Using Presenter: Ian Spence, Ph.D., Ben Bronz Academy Cost: $60 Materials: $10; Manual (optional): $60 Thursday, 3:00 to 5:00 pm Practice of the right stuff builds skills. The epitome of Precision Teaching is when the teacher diagnoses the learner’s need, pinpoints the behavior to be built, designs a drill that will best build the skills, executes that drill repeatedly, and plots the data each time, providing the information nec- essary to modify the drill as the learner improves. This ideal situation is rare. Few of us have the diagnostic skills or the luxury of the one on one situation that is implied by this routine.
