TARZANA, CA, March 27, 2013 (Press-News.org) The Institute for Behavioral Training (IBT) launches its one-stop training site this week to provide parents and professionals who work with individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) customized training based on research-proven techniques using applied behavior analysis (ABA). IBT offers four types of training programs, including eLearning, face-to-face training, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) supervision and continuing education.
"As the number of individuals affected by autism spectrum disorders continues to grow, we want to offer a service where parents, educators, caregivers, and practitioners can receive high-quality, affordable training," says IBT director Cecilia Knight, MA, BCBA. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released research last week showing that one in 50 children in America is diagnosed with ASD, demonstrating that autism remains more prevalent than juvenile diabetes, pediatric cancer, and childhood AIDS.
IBT is powered by the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD), the world's largest provider of effective, early-intensive behavioral intervention for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). IBT uses CARD experts to provide innovative training programs that meet the current and emerging needs of parents, caregivers, and human service professionals across the globe. With over 22 years of training experience, CARD launched IBT to expand quality services for the autism community. IBT functions as its own separate entity, utilizing CARD's extensive supply of qualified BCBA supervisors to create diverse training programs.
"We execute this commitment through high-quality programs that feature diversity in content, convenient access, modern technology, and an expert instructional staff," says Knight.
