This interactive and hands-on workshop provides an excellent opportunity for individuals to learn a well-defined, systematic self-monitoring intervention, and motivational system.  Participants attending this workshop leave with a comprehensive tool in hand to implement immediately within the school, home, and clinic setting.  This workshop explores peer-reviewed research that supports the implementation of self-monitoring systems for students of various ages and developmental levels.  A discussion of self-monitoring procedures incorporating a “match” component is  presented, with specific focus on Self & Match, a user-friendly, easy to implement, empirically-validated system. Participants in this training acquire a systematic guide to plan self-monitoring systems, as well as a Self & Match manual with substantial training materials. Additionally, participants strengthen their knowledge of necessary considerations prior to implementing any self-monitoring or motivational system. Great workshop for individuals and/or teams!

Objectives:  At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

• Identify the research-based benefits of self-monitoring
• Identify the basic components of the Self & Match System
• Effectively apply, individualize, and monitor progress of a self-monitoring system
• Identify the necessary components of an effective motivational system
• Identify the importance of pre-treatment planning on the effectiveness of intervention
• Create a Self & Match self-monitoring system to implement in their workplace
• Systematically consider function in the development of self-monitoring interventions and reinforcement opportunities

This session brings together professionals that have already attended the “Intro to Self & Match” training and are currently implementing Self & Match System(s).  The goal of this session is to help educators and practitioners identify ways to optimize current Self & Match interventions. The session includes a round table discussion, consultation, and review of current Self & Match systems.  A systematic Self & Match: Considerations During Implementation Guide is shared with the participants in order to help implementers critically evaluate their systems. This time can also be used to assist with creating individualized forms, work with the staff on making data-based decisions, and/or review how to graph and interpret Self & Match data.  

This session brings together professionals that have already attended the “Intro to Self & Match” training and are looking to “reboot/refresh” and enhance their Self & Match System(s) for year 2 implementation.  The goal of this session is to help educators and practitioners refresh on the best practices associated with Self & Match interventions so that they can effectively re-launch the intervention after a summer break (and potentially with a new group of students). 

This is an interactive workshop designed for Teaching/Instructional Assistants (paraprofessionals) and other implementers of the Self & Match systems.  This workshop educates and empowers staff members to become effective implementers of the system.   Participants learn the necessary fundamentals of Self & Match to provide meaningful feedback to the team about the future directions of their student’s Self & Match system.  A brief overview of self-monitoring research will be discussed, as well as the importance of implementing interventions with fidelity,  Frequently Asked Questions, and collaboration within teams.

Additionally, participants will strengthen their knowledge of necessary considerations prior to implementing any self-monitoring or motivational system.

The Self & Match system has been used internationally to support individuals with emotional behavior disorders, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, as well as a variety of other diagnoses.  Self & Match can be incorporated into individualized behavior systems in the home, school, and community settings. including (but not limited to): clinics, homes, and recreational settings.  Great workshop for individuals and/or teams (parents and in-home behavior analysts)!

Objectives:  At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

• Identify the research-based benefits of self-monitoring
• Identify the importance of pre-treatment planning on the effectiveness of intervention
• Effectively apply, individualize, and monitor progress of a self-monitoring system

This interactive and hands-on workshop provides an excellent opportunity for individuals to learn a well-defined, systematic self-monitoring intervention, and motivational system that can be implemented individually or class-wide for students with a variety of learning and behavioral needs.  Participants attending this workshop leave with a comprehensive tool in hand to implement immediately within the general education setting.  A discussion of self-monitoring procedures incorporating a “match” component is  presented, with specific focus on Self & Match, a user-friendly, easy to implement, empirically-validated system. Participants in this training acquire a systematic guide to plan self-monitoring systems, as well as a Self & Match manual with substantial training materials. Additionally, participants strengthen their knowledge of necessary considerations prior to implementing any self-monitoring or motivational system.

The Self & Match system has been used internationally to support individuals within the general education and special education settings.  Self & Match can be employed as a part of an individualized behavior system and/or a class-wide behavior management procedures and school-wide behavior management procedures as a part of SWPBIS.   Great workshop for individuals and/or teams!

 Objectives:  At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

• Identify the research-based benefits of self-monitoring
• Identify the basic components of the Self & Match System
• Identify the importance of pre-treatment planning on the effectiveness of intervention
• Create a Self & Match self-monitoring system to implement in the general education classroom

*Note, this training often includes general education teacher, Robyn Ellis as a invited presenter

Another benefit of the Self & Match System is that it is a data-based system that allows teachers to easily monitor progress and make data-based decisions regarding the behavioral intervention program.  Because of this, it can be used as a progress monitoring tool and data collection resource for special educators as they prepare updates for student’s IEPs. This workshop focuses on the collection of baseline data and development of IEP goals that align with the Self & Match System.  Since Self & Match is a manualized intervention, we do not recommend writing “The Self & Match System” directly into an IEP goal, accommodation or service.  However, there are ways to include The Self & Match System within a student’s IEP such as writing goals surrounding a students skills with self-monitoring his/her behavior and/or goals regarding increasing behavior success in the school setting.

 Objectives:  At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

• Identify ways to collect baseline data for self-monitoring goals
• Identify ways to report progress by utilizing the data collected on completed Self & Match System forms
• Identify ways to write IEP goals that align to behaviors targeted while implementing the Self & Match System
• Identify ways to make data-based decisions regarding next steps of Self & Match Implementation
• Identify ways to graphically display data related to The Self & Match System (graphing is only available for 2 hour sessions)

This session offers a brief overview of the Self & Match System.   The training is designed for University courses, local ABA chapters, local conferences, etc.   Please email us for more information regarding guest speaking at your event/class.
