- Tuition payment assistance or reimbursement.
- Payment/reimbursement for licensing courses and exams.
- Matched contributions to employer-sponsored 529 college savings plan.
- Student loan repayment.
Some employers that offer educational benefit options require a minimum waiting period for eligibility, some set a maximum benefit amount, and some may extend educational benefits to employee dependents.

TAGG-MS is wanting your help to finalize a NEW Transition Assessment for middle school students with mild to moderate disabilities.
If you are a student, parent, caregiver, and/or educator of a middle school student with mild to moderate disabilities please reach out to C. Sanford to participate!
The 2023 survey has questions geared for autistic adults, families and caregivers of individuals with autism, as well as service providers and educators. It takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.
I am Dr. Emily Kuntz, Ph.D., BCBA, and I am seeking Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who work in school settings to complete a 20-minute survey about their role, work activities, and experiences. The aim of this project is to (a) gain an understanding of the role, work activities, and experiences of BCBAs who work in school settings to better inform research and practice on how BCBAs can take an active and effective role in schools and (b) promote the role of school-based BCBAs. I am working to get a nationally representative sample. Your help in sharing this survey is greatly appreciated.
To all BCBAs: You may be eligible to participate in this survey! Additionally, you are welcomed and encouraged to share this email with other BCBAs. Participants who complete the survey will be eligible to enter a random drawing to win one of 10- $25 Amazon electronic gift cards.
Please contact me, Dr. Emily Kuntz, Ph.D., BCBA for more information.

The IRIS Center now has secondary versions for two of its most popular modules.
-
Addressing Challenging Behaviors (Part 1, Secondary): Understanding the Acting-Out Cycle discusses challenging behavior in terms of the seven phases of the acting-out cycle and offers strategies and tips for responding to students in each phase. The module contains 24 classroom videos, play-by-play analyses by behavioral experts, and interactive practice opportunities.
-
Addressing Challenging Behaviors (Part 2, Secondary): Behavioral Strategies describes six low-intensity strategies that can increase initial compliance to teacher requests and prevent or decrease challenging behaviors. The strategies include behavior-specific praise, pre-correction, active supervision, high-probability requests, and opportunities to respond. The module also explores differential reinforcement of alternative behavior for situations when low-intensity strategies are not sufficient to prevent or de-escalate a student’s challenging behavior. Each strategy page includes classroom video examples and non-examples, fundamental skill sheets, and implementation checklists.
Both modules include free PD certificates of completion, Kahoot games, and more.
