Lessons in Listening with Yeiter

Please join us for “Lessons in Listening with Yeiter.”Yeiter has 50 years of personal commitment to specifically supporting people who live in a status he names a “reputation for challenging behavior”. He draws on a rich personal history. His time in the company of people defined by a story of challenging behavior begins in an unreformed back ward in 1971 and continues through an attempt to reform the institution by implementing behavior analytic treatments, the move into local group homes and day programs, the implementation of integrated special education, and the development of individualized supports for work roles and establishing people in their own homes. In making a positive difference in people’s lives, he has taken many roles: ward attendant, behavior specialist, administrator, consultant, and teacher.Support the show
