Speaker: Ms. Maria Rosario G. Joaquin, MAEd

The seminar – workshop will tackle the principles and theories of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), one of the most widely used method in managing persons within the autism spectrum disorder. A workshop will also be conducted to further understand ABA.

Unwanted behavior is more often than not difficult to address. Fortunately, the science of Behavior Analysis has provided us insight on how to scientifically address different behaviors by performing a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA). Performing the procedures of FBA assists in determining the underlying causes of a specific behavior by identifying the functions and choices of behavior displayed by an individual with autism.

Theme: “Meeting the Needs of Gifted Children With Learning Disabilities”

Overview
How is it possible for a child to be both gifted and learning disabled? When giftedness is thought of as learning-abled, it seems incomprehensible that a person could be simultaneously learning-abled and learning-disabled. However, when giftedness is seen as developmental advancement or as advanced abstract reasoning ability or as asynchrony (the discrepancy between mental and chronological age), it becomes conceivable that a bright student may have difficulty reading, writing, spelling, calculating, or organizing. Recently, there is an increasing number of researches and case study reports of twice exceptional children and it appears that the identification and treatment of them is a complex educational mission.

Day 1, July 29
- Misunderstood Children
- Challenging Characteristics found in twice exceptional populations:
- Global Giftedness
- Gifted Child with Physically Disability
- Gifted Child with Visual and Hearing Impairment
- Gifted Child with Learning Disability
- Gifted Savants
- Gifted with Asperger’s Syndrome
- Gifted with Depression

Day 2, July 30
- Empower families and communities to guide gifted and talented individuals to reach their goals: intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
- Supporting the Social and Emotional Needs of the Gifted
- Parents and Teachers Helping 2E Understand and Confront Adversity
- Compacting Curriculum
- Organization and Study Skills
- Special Accommodation and the Use of Technology
- Round Table Discussions
