2016-2017 VENDOR INFORMATION PACKET FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AND/OR ADULTS WITH AUTISM AND RELATED DISABILITIES

Live Webinar-Based Continuing Education Professional Development Staff and Parent Training

How can you provide high-quality personalized continuing education, professional development, and/or staff training opportunities to your entire staff while keeping extraneous costs down? Give your staff live webinar access to expert researchers and clinicians using evidence-based practices in educational, work, health and community settings to help individuals who have special needs. Stop worrying about finding coverage. Registered staff can view a recording of the event with on-demand post-event access. Free up your time. Stop looking for the right speakers and the most interesting topics. Find a company that does that for you. Select one or a series of topics from their library or ask them to find a speaker that can talk about timely and clinically relevant issues, evidence-based practices that support and help others, ethics, supervision and employee related concerns. Make sure they can create a confidential employee survey to help you figure out what your continuing education/professional development topics should be. Allow staff to design their own continuing education or professional development program and provide them to the resources and time to attend the events from the office or home. Stop wasting time and money on “one-size-fits-all” presentations. Arrange private seminars that are tailored to your organization's needs. Arrange private and secure remote consultation and/or intensive trainings for specific small groups or individuals and get them the support they need. Select a provider that offers simple attendance verification and post-event assessment to save valuable staff time. Save more money by purchasing bulk credit hour packages. Staff use what they need, the company tracks the hours and keeps you informed with monthly staff attendance reports.

ABAC. Inc., is the only company in the world that can deliver all of these options to you and your staff. Contact founder and CEO, Adrienne Fitzer for a free program design consultation.
