About
the Course
This course
provides a thorough and often provocative
first immersion in Think:Kids, a
research-supported
approach to helping children with behavioral challenges. It
is presented over several modules as a sequence of brief and focused
segments in video, narrated slide shows and audio. Each
segment has its own forum for commenting, raising questions and even
posting media files, so even though this is
self-paced.learning, there is ample opportunity to interact with peers
and others in the Think:Kids community.
The course covers both Assessment (Think:Kids-style) and Treatment
(what do you know about Indirect Instruction?). There are
numerous case examples, used to illustrate important points for every
component of the model. We also use humor. It's
serious business, but that doesn't mean an edgy cartoon can't help make
a point.
As the first step in the Think:Kids Certification process, this
introductory training is
a pre-requisite for any of our Intensive 3-day Trainings.
The requirement can be met in this, online, format,
or through an in-person full-day Introductory workshop.
