Description:  This introductory workshop will provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools to analyze and track a learner's functional living skills and develop an individualized intervention program to help a learner become less dependent upon assistance from others. We will review the content of the six AFLS protocols and strategies to help individuals learn the skills that are essential for independent functioning. Every participant will receive one AFLS protocol to begin intervention. In addition, we will review several strategies that work on teaching and generalization of skills in the natural environment, and show how you can include these strategies in your student’s individual program.
