Speaker/ Facilitator: Prof. Vladymer Padilla
Day One (April 7, 2014)

Introduction to Autism
Introduction to ABA
Behaviour and its Kind
Behaviour Repertoire
On the first day of our training, our facilitator described the whole ABA process with a quote from Daniel’s Dictum, which says
“If you think this stuff is easy, you’re doing it wrong.”
After a few introductions and ‘warnings’ as I account to the quote, he defined the word “Autism” as:
Qualitative Impairment in Social Development and Imaginative play;
Impaired Communication Skills and Language Development, and
Display stereotyped Pattern of Behavior.
He also mentioned the three important words – impaired, disability and handicapped. He asked us to differentiate, explain and give example about these words. I volunteered to make an example about these three words that should be present in one person. Example of this is of that a blind person; he is impaired because his eyes are damaged; he is disabled because he cannot see, and handicapped because he cannot perform such activities involving his eyes.
He defined behavior (bx) as anything a person does that can be observed. He also explained what the kinds of Behavior are:
Overt Behavior
Covert Behavior
Reflexive BX,
Innate BX, and
Free Operant Bx (learned behavior)
He mentioned about Behavioral Repertoire which means a part of your behavior such as cooking, dancing, writing a love poem, reading books etc. Lastly, he discussed the characteristic of ABA. He also explained the units of behavior (point, pick, grab, reach, get, hold etc).
Day Two (April 8, 2014)
