School and evaluation personnel are faced with evaluating an increasing number of students who are suspected of having ASD and/or ADHD. Regardless of the educational eligibility that these students may qualify for, evaluation personnel are responsible for conducting evaluations that includes recommendations for addressing their challenging behaviors. “Best practices” for assessing behavior using direct and indirect measures as well as how to instruct students with ASD and/or ADHD will be covered in this session. Participants will also learn how to write appropriate behavioral recommendations in the evaluation report that can be translated into measurable and observable goals, step-by-step plans for teaching functional equivalent and/or replacement behaviors as well as how to monitor and evaluate effectiveness of those recommendations will be discussed.
