Approaches to Autism, S2E1: Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI)

Oct 13

In the season opener for the Approaches to Autism continuing webinar series, Dr. Stephen Shore and Rob Bernstein will be joined by Dr. Aubyn C. Stahmer and Dr. Brooke Ingersol to discuss Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI). According to its creators, this method provides intervention for those on the autism spectrum through the integration of shared control and interaction that occurs within natural settings, and therapy that utilizes natural contingencies, along with a variety of behavioral interventions to teach developmentally appropriate and prerequisite skills. Moderated by US Autism Association President Dr. Marlo Payne Thurman.
