SUMMARY:Webinar - Shaping Behavior with "ABC" and "STOP" Techniques - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Shaping Behavior with “ABC” and “STOP” Techniques – Part 1\nOctober 4\, 10:00 AM-12:00 PM\nPresenter: Dr. Elaine Bernstorf \nFall brings opportunities to reframe our teaching approaches.

References and suggested resources will be included. \nElaine Bernstorf is Professor of Music Education at Wichita State University. With degrees in Special Music Education and a PhD in Communicative Disorders and Sciences\, her specializations include elementary music\, special music education\, and speech pathology (voice\, fluency\, autism and child language)\, literacy development\, and curriculum development.
