As ABA therapists, we preach about the importance of teaching functional communication skills to our clients but we sometimes lack the appropriate communication skills needed to consult with teachers and other professionals.

How do we improve our communication so that we form better relationships and obtain “BUY IN”?

What you'll get:

• Assess teacher’s and other professionals motivation.
• Provide examples of effective change talk strategies to develop and build collaborative relationships.
• Identify 4 processes of MI.
• Describe key features of effective MI strategies.

In this 2 hours course, I will discuss some of the barriers that prevent teachers and professionals from adhering to interventions and the main characteristics of a “good” consultant. I will also present the proven strategies of MI to decrease discord (aka "resistance") and increase cooperation between clinicians and teachers and other professionals. We will discuss how to use the core skills and principles of MI in each of the four MI processes of (engagement, focusing, evoking and planning).
