Participants will explore practical strategies for:

✔️ Embedding teaching opportunities within play and daily routines

Su***de Screening Workshop

Behavior analysts are increasingly working with individuals who may be at elevated risk for su***de — yet many professionals have not received formal training in how to recognize warning signs, screen appropriately, and make ethical referrals.

This ABACLive workshop with Dr. Michael Bordieri focuses on practical, evidence-informed strategies for behavior analysts working with autistic individuals and other high-risk populations.

Participants will learn to:

✔️ Recognize warning signs and risk indicators

✔️ Screen for su***de risk within scope of practice

✔️ Make appropriate referrals and collaborate across disciplines

This training emphasizes ethical responsibility, risk reduction, and interdisciplinary support — skills essential for today’s clinical practice.
