2 CEUs: Introducing the MOTAS

A practical guide to the new assessment + Q&A with the creators!

This 2-hour training introduces the MOTAS (Meaningful Outcomes Through Assessment and Support), a neurodiversity-affirming assessment created by and for behavior professionals. Designed for BCBAs and clinicians seeking a more flexible, collaborative approach, this course walks step by step through how to use the MOTAS to identify priorities, partner with families, and develop socially significant goals that reflect the true needs of learners.

The modules outline not only how to administer the assessment, but how to apply it thoughtfully in real clinical settings. Participants will explore practical implementation tips, integration with insurance and medical-necessity requirements, and guidance on writing individualized goals. You’ll also hear directly from the creators about the development of the tool, common provider questions, and how the MOTAS is already reshaping assessment practices across settings.
