SUMMARY:Function First: Supporting Sensory Needs in Early Childhood Autism
DESCRIPTION:Title: Function First: Supporting Sensory Needs in Early Childhood Autism \nSummary: This virtual session will connect the dots between autism\, sensory challenges\, and effective treatment in early childhood settings. By taking a functional approach to behavior\, we can unpack why it might be occurring and successfully modify the environment (which includes our own adult behavior) to affect positive outcomes. The session will begin with an overview of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the vast differences in presentation depending on whether an individual presents with or without an intellectual disability or other comorbid condition. We will then contextualize sensory challenges associated with ASD and discuss how these might contribute to challenging behavior. Using available data and narrative case studies\, we will outline trends in autism prevalence across Head Start Region 7 states\, as well as the empirical basis for early intervention. Finally\, we will cover environmental modifications to minimize sensory issues and challenging behavior with a specific emphasis on differentiation between cohorts of 0-3 and 3-5 year-olds.  \nSpeaker: Brian Brutzman \nBio: Brian Brutzman\, Ph.D.\, LBA\, BCBA is a psychologist and licensed behavior analyst with more than a decade of experience as a behavioral consultant. He has previously served as clinical coordinator for the Global Psychiatric Epidemiology Group at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. His published research spans various topics such as early childhood social skill development\, mental health during disasters\, knowledge brokerage\, and school-based intervention.  He is passionate about helping students achieve their potential in school and specializes in the mitigation of complex and challenging problem behavior in the home\, school\, and community settings. Brian holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Loyola University Maryland\, a master’s degree in General Psychology from New York  \nUniversity and a doctorate in Social-Personality Psychology from Michigan State University with a specialization in Quantitative Methodology and Evaluation Science. He currently serves as the Director of School-Based Services for BK Behavior Ventures and Heartland ABA. \nAbout Heartland ABA: Part of the BK Behavior family of companies\, Heartland ABA provides top-tier behavioral treatment across the Midwest in homes\, schools\, and community settings. Early childhood education settings in particular can be places where children build confidence and connect with others—but behavioral challenges can sometimes get in the way. Our clinicians help children develop essential skills\, strengthen social relationships\, and create positive routines that support learning. By collaborating closely with teachers\, staff\, and families\, we design individualized strategies to meet each student’s needs and provide consistent support that carries over from the classroom to home and beyond. We accomplish this in a variety of ways\, including serving as mental health consultants to Head Start Programs\, accepting referrals for home-based behavioral services\, providing parent-training workshops\, and delivering engaging\, transformational professional development sessions. We look forward to helping meet your students’ behavioral needs. More information can be found at: \n| https://www.heartlandbehavior.com/school-based-services |

SUMMARY:PITC – Facilitating Early Learning for Infants and Toddlers
DESCRIPTION:Title: PITC – Facilitating Early Learning for Infants and Toddlers – for EHS center based and home based staff \nSummary: The purpose of this webinar is to provide an overview of PITC’s approach to responsive relationship-based caregiving practices and facilitating early learning in both the center-based and home visiting context to support all staff serving infants\, toddlers and their families.  During this interactive session\, participants will explore how infants and toddlers develop and learn through discovering their world around them. With the understanding that infants are born as active\, curious\, and motivated learners and that early learning happens holistically and based in relationships\, participants will learn about how adults can effectively support these “discoveries of infancy”.  \nTrainers: PITC Training Team \nAbout PITC: PITC has grown to become the major provider in the creation\, distribution\, and delivery of infant/toddler care training/professional learning resources (video and print) and activities (institutes\, graduate events\, conferences\, outreach\, and community-based training of infant care teachers/providers). It operates a Regional Support Network of PITC Certified Infant/Toddler Specialists who conduct training and coaching nationwide. PITC has provided professional development institutes in more than 20 states and territories\, nationally for Early Head Start\, and internationally.
