Hi, everyone!

Writing from the University of Montana's Online MSW Program :-)

We are seeing more requests for practicums at ABA Centers for Autism. We are curious if anyone else has experiences placing students at these sites and how you have ensured all micro, mezzo, and macro competencies are met given the focus primarily on individual therapy?

Thank you so much! 

Kimberly,

We had a BSW student do an ABA placement last year, so a different level of practice but the mezzo and macro goals may give you some ideas. The agency where she was placed offered social skills groups for different ages, so she based her mezzo goals around that context. For the macro competencies she focused on state-level advocacy work her agency was engaged in, related to changing Medicaid rules to cover ABA in the school setting. Hopefully this helps!
