As
school districts struggle to find funding to support the increasing
number of
children with autism, MaximumPotentialKids.com offers schools districts
affordable Applied Analysis Behavior training options for staff and
teachers.
According to the
latest estimates from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and
Prevention,
autism affects 1 in 150 children in the United States today.
Unfortunately,
public school systems and private schools around the country are
quickly
discovering that their ability to provide the best education for these
children
is limited. School districts simply lack the funding and training to
provide
these children with the best education possible.
Maximum Potential ABA
Course
MaximumPotentialKids.com
and the Maximum Potential Group seek to help schools in their search
for
affordable ABA training. ABA therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis
therapy, has
been recognized as one of the best educational strategies for children
with autism.
According to the executive director of the Princeton Child Development
Institute, ABA therapy is the only system that has systematically
documented
effectiveness. This means that ABA therapy is an ideal option for
schools that
are seeking an effective educational method for children with autism.
Garrett Butch,
founder of MaximumPotentialKids.com and the Maximum Potential Group,
sees the
challenges that schools face on a daily basis. Butch is the parent of a
child
with autism and his main goal is to have everyone who interacts with
his son
Collin, have some type of training in ABA. By having ABA training, he
knows
that each school staff member will have a positive effect on Collin
throughout
the school day. By understanding the principles behind Applied Behavior
Analysis, school personnel will be able to learn what reinforcers
work well with Collin and can diffuse negative behavior, as well as
effectively
teach him new skills. Unfortunately, far too many school systems do not
have
the resources to provide this type of training to their staff.
The video based
training that Maximum Potential provides offers schools with a number
of
advantages. The program taught by two PhD BCBA's
with 25 years of experience in schools, allow districts to train
their
staff at an affordable rate. Each teacher is also able to re-watch the
courses
so that they can retain and refresh the information that they have
learned.
Schools only pay a onetime fee and staff do
not have
to leave campus, therefore alleviating the cost of travel and
substitute
teachers. The training is provided in a group setting, which
facilitates
conversation and fosters ideas to help each child.
In addition, the
courses are affordable enough for families to purchase as well. This
provides
them with the means to continue the therapeutic methods that ABA
provides their
child. Many families with autistic children do not live near a trained
therapist nor do they have the funds to send their child to hours of
therapy
per week. Through the courses provided by Maximum Potential, families
are able
to learn and understand the methods behind ABA training and work with
their
child throughout the day.
