Teaching community and safety skills often challenges practitioners because of difficulties transferring stimulus control from structured teaching environments to the natural community context. This training explores real client examples where creative programming led to successful generalization of complex community and safety behaviors—such as crossing the street, responding to alarms, or calling 911—through analysis of controlling variables and nontraditional prompting methods.
Participants will learn to identify controlling stimuli in the natural environment, engineer them within teaching contexts, and systematically fade prompts while maintaining safety and independence.
