What Are Attendees Are Saying

This course is a "must have" for session notes

by Lindsay B.

We enrolled all of our technicians in the writing good session notes course and have seen a significant improvement n the quality of their session notes. This course is full of examples, resources, and is a 'must' for staff who need extra support with writing medically necessary session notes.

Loaded with information and knowledge

by Michael S.

I was looking for more information about how to ensure my session notes documented medical necessity. This course was the answer! It had a ton of information, resources, and job aids, and outlined a system to bring it all together. We are most excited about the 4-part framework for writing the narrative sections of the notes as we have never seen anything like this before; game changer!

Amazing source for newbies in the field, highly recommend!!

Marissa K.

This course is amazing for newbies in the field! It is very difficult as a new BCaBA/BCBA to find resources that tie our socially significant treatment goals for our clients back to the DSM-5 and medical necessity goals. The resources are great to print out and to use while applying this practice of creating medically necessary ABA goals, treatment plans, and reports for clients. Plus, you can complete this course at your own pace! Thank you Dr. Hughes-Lika!

Support that I have been looking for

Tina L.

My organization enrolled me in the T01 writing session notes course for technicians and I am so grateful. The information provided for the 4-part framework made a huge difference in how I write session notes. This course provided a lot of helpful information and I feel so much more confident in my ability to write ABA session notes, especially the written narrative sections. Phew!

The social motivation course is fantastic!

Thanos V.

This a fantastic course comprising essential information about the social motivation of autistic children and how we should tailor naturalistic developmental behavioural interventions around each child to help accelerate their learning and development. If you are interested in understanding the essential skills a child should have to benefit from naturally occurring learning opportunities, then this course is for you. Similarly, if you work with early populations or populations of students who are early learners and have complex needs, this course will give you a lot of ideas on how to design and approach your instruction and support. I have been in education and behaviour analysis for over ten years, and I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It is a must-watch for teachers, speech and language therapists, behaviour analysts, psychologists, and more.
