In an effort to increase communication and understanding with reference to PPM140 and the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis, Simcoe County District School Board created a newsletter entitled the ABA Buzz.  The ABA Buzz, distributed on monthly basis typically highlights the following:

 

• Strategy of the Month (e.g., First/Then Board, Checklist, Power Card)
• Resource of the Month for Teachers – brief synopsis of the resource, why you would use the resource and to whom it would be best suited for.
• Resource of the Month for Students- brief synopsis of the resource, why you would use the resource, and to what student or student need the resource would be best suited for.
• Community Resources – this section highlights events that occur in the community with reference to ABA, services available in the community (e.g., funding, respite, summer camps).
• SCDSB Created Resource of the Month – a resource that has been created by SCDSB with reference to ABA is highlighted.
• ABA and the IEP – this section focuses on how to ensure that ABA is incorporated within a student’s IEP.
• Upcoming Events, PD, memos are also highlighted to increase communication.

This presentation will provide attendees with an overview of why SCDSB saw the need to increase communication and increase/clarify understanding of the principles of ABA, provide participants with the opportunity to review some of the issues of the ABA Buzz, and lastly, to gain insight into the importance and process of mapping out a plan for the communication process.
