The document outlines an effective instruction training for professionals using ABA techniques. It will use Gagne's 9 events of instruction to develop ABA modules that introduce objectives and include open-ended questions. Instructional content will be presented through power points, videos and modeling, with the instructor demonstrating techniques. Learners will role-play key ABA behaviors in small groups, have their videos reviewed, and receive feedback based on a rubric. Participants will later be assessed on their skills at their job site.
