Ebic Courses

Plan of the Courses

The course is organised in three modules. Participants will be able to register for each module separately:
1. Beginner,
2. Intermediate,
3. Advanced.

Each module consists in a total of 8 weeks and is organised in this way:

• week 1, 3, 5, 7 – participants will have access to two hours of pre-recorded material to view at their own convenience. Pre-recorded lectures will be availabe for 6 months after the end of the course;
• week 2, 4, 6, 8 – we will have a live class to review videos and discuss application of the pre-recorded content and procedures.

Participants will receive, as part of the course, the Early Behavioural Intervention Curriculum Checklists (EBIC), a framework for organizing the fundamental social and verbal skills of existing published curricula under their common sources of control.

The EBIC is not a curriculum, but rather, a framework of cumulative and generalized skills, sequentially arranged and derived from Skinner’s analysis of multiple causation, the establishment of which can be attained through delivery of a range of procedures to promote the emergence of social and generative verbal behavior.

The EBIC is therefore a curricular framework for understanding skills regardless of a particular manual or theoretical orientation. This framework will be used to guide participants in the design and arrangement of objectives in a developmental coherent sequence to obtain the greatest gains in novel, untaught, skills from the minimum amount of direct teaching across both naturalistic and structured environments and across varying complexities of stimulus control.
