The Science and Practice of RFT and ACT for Behavior Analysts
Presented by
Mark R. Dixon and Ruth Anne Rehfeldt
Live Training in Paris, France
Join two of the field’s highest published authors and content creators as they deliver an impressive magnitude of information on the most Important advances in behaviorism since its inception. Learn more about how the field has advanced far beyond the works of BF skinner and continues to grow today.
These two presenters will take you back in time to where our field started to hit a dead end - human language. Next came the pivot towards how speaking with meaning and listening with understanding became of core importance to analysis of the human condition.
With this new knowledge base, anything is now possible. Raising IQ in children with autism, helping others better understand emotional distress and private events, and finding one’s place within a proSocial community.
Mark and Ruth Anne will talk history, tell personal stories of their professional journey, show tons of data, unveil new assessment and curriculum tools, and perhaps most of all, hear you, answer questions, and leave you with greater knowledge of what you can do to better serve those you serve in practice.
This event is designed as a small room, small audience experience. Only 25 seats are being released.
