Presentation: Pyramid Approach to Education – Guide for Functional ABA

Abstract:

The Pyramid Approach to Education is a comprehensive framework for establishing and sustaining effective learning environments.

The Pyramid Approach to Education provides a solid foundation for those who teach in education, at work, at home, or in the community. People of all ages who have developmental differences, autism, communication challenges and/or other learning differences regardless of age can benefit from this unique model.

FUNCTIONAL ABA provides a clear guide for each team member to figure out what elements to address and in what order. Just as building a pyramid begins with establishing a firm foundation before constructing the body of the building, the pyramid approach begins with a solid foundation based on a scientific approach to teaching. This systematic framework for building effective learning environments incorporates strategies that have been recognized by the National Clearinghouse on Autism Evidence and Practice (NCAEP) as practical based on scientific evidence.
