Training
Custom training in RFT/VB and EIBI
Upcoming and ongoing training opportunities
Through my collaboration with the Constellations Community of Practice, I offer a number of workshops and coaching groups on applying relational frame theory as well as applying ACT and RFT to self-care and time management. You can see all our workshops at www.weareconstellations.com.
Rediscovering our heart: Social validity lessons from unusual and unfamiliar contexts
While not technically about RFT/VB, in this webinar, I explore the lessons I have learned from a career teaching behavior analysts throughout the world, both in person but especially through telehealth. I share some tools and thoughts on how we can become better behavior analysts in a multicultural, pandemic, telehealth world.
Access this 1.5 CEU course through Pacific Coast University.
Customized training for organizations
Are you looking to shift your organization’s EIBI focus towards teaching for generative language? I provide customized on-site training on integrating RFT into your current VB programming, combined with distance-based group coaching for your team to support implementation. My trainings include both theoretical foundations and practice with applications that can immediately be added to your programming. I will work with you to identify the most important focus of training for the client population your agency serves. Topics can include many precursor foundations for generativity (including joint attention, recombinative generalization, and flexibility in responding) as well as establishing both early and more advanced relational framing repertoires for young children in early intervention programs.
Please contact me to set up a time to talk about your interests and the needs of your agency.
RFT coaching and curriculum consultation
Are you looking to go beyond basic training and integrate RFT into your practice? Workshops and group coaching opportunities are available through the Constellations Community of Practice, with an Introduction to RFT in EIBI workshop as well as an RFT in EIBI Coaching Group.
I also offer individualized coaching with a focus on case consultation and curriculum development to give you the support you need to successfully apply RFT to your EIBI programs. We will work together to ensure you not only understand the theoretical foundations, but you are able to take what you’ve learned and infuse it into your practice from the ground up. Research/dissertation coaching is also available. Contact me for a free initial consultation to discuss your interests and needs.
What clients say
“It has always been a pleasure working with Dr. Siri Ming. She is a wealth of knowledge bridging the various gaps across early learning and more complex language. Not only that, but her facility with both the “Verbal Behavior Approach” and RFT makes her expertise indispensable to any clinic that wants to build a comprehensive repertoire for children older than five! In addition to our various collaborations, I was excited to bring Dr. Ming down to my clinic to do a workshop for the clinicians – not only was the content spot-on, but she was able to customize it to our clinicians needs. We have incorporated most of the leading research into our practice, but at times, new clinicians don’t know what the starting steps are to create the foundation to build relational repertoires from. Siri provides just that knowledge. Our clinicians rated that workshop as one of their favorites we’ve had!”

“We were searching for someone to help our centre integrate our knowledge and experience in Verbal Behaviour, Precision Teaching, and Early Intervention with our growing interest in RFT. When we met Siri, we knew we had found the right person. Siri has provided our staff a foundational overview of RFT in a clear way that was digestible and accesible for our front line staff. She also spent time coaching our BCBA’s to give them a more in-depth understanding of concepts and how to roll out our new knowledge to make meaningful learning gains with our clients. We were able to design a training plan that was flexible and accessible to our whole program. Siri is incredibly knowledgable, thoughtful and a dynamic speaker. She is an incredible resource with a wealth of experience.”

“Dr. Siri Ming, BCBA-D has been providing very excellent Exam Preparation for potential BCBAs and BCaBAs for Tucci Learning Solutions, Inc for many years. Her knowledge and attention to detail have prepared our colleagues to pass the BACB’s Exam. I feel confident in recommending Siri’s training and coaching services. She is not only thorough but also easy to work with and always willing to take the time to discuss our colleague’s concerns and respond to questions.
She also delivered a very thorough workshop to our team on relational frame theory, that allowed our staff to take their programming to the next level. Her work is incredible.”
