Autism Tidbits #1: Behavioral Momentum Intervention (BMI)
Zoom session only

      


Behavioral Momentum Intervention (BMI) is a focused intervention that meets criteria as an evidenced-based practice for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. BMI has been effective for preschoolers (3-5), elementary (6-11), middle schoolers (12-14), and high schoolers (15-18) with autism. Steinbrenner et al., (2020) detail how BMI can be used to effectively address the following outcomes for a target/goal/skill: Academic/Pre-Academic; Adaptive/Self-help; Challenging/Interfering; Communication; Play School Readiness and Social.  During this session, education personnel will learn how to utilize behavioral momentum as a strategy to build student success.  Participants will be able to describe the three parts of BMI and when to implement it with students who may be having difficulty acquiring target skills. Participants will also learn how to collect data to determine if the intervention was effective with the student(s).
