S2E1 - RUBI PARENT TRAINING W/ DR. KAREN BEARSS

In the first episode in the "From Research to Practice" themed Season 2, Zach and Caleb discuss parent training. They are joined by Dr. Karen Bearss to discuss the RUBI parent training system. 

Learning Objectives

1. Identify the compositional balance between the core sessions, supplemental modules, and home/telephonic generalization components that define the manualized RUBI Autism Network curriculum.

2. Describe how to effectively coach caregivers to move past descriptive topography and systematically identify environmental antecedents and maintaining consequences using the RUBI behavioral principles framework.

3. Contrast the specific parent-implemented protocols—including stimulus control strategies, guided compliance training, and functional communication training (FCT)—stipulated across the sequential core sessions.
