“…A blended format designed to enable professionals to practice and apply skills in their work places in between teaching blocks emerged as key to participant learning and overall impact. The adoption of such a format is congruent with classical theories of adult learning and evidence from the field (Lotrecchiano, McDonald, Lyons, Long, & Zajicek-Farber, 2013; Roll-Pettersson & Ala’i-Rosales, 2010).

“…Though this meeting did not directly affect content in special education coursework, it led to the development of the first graduate-level verified course sequence (VCS) based on BACB Tasklist (3 rd edition). This VCS was commissioned by the City of Stockholm, launched at the Karolinska Institute 2004, subsidised through charities, and taught in collaboration with international colleagues from the USA, Norway, UK, and Ireland, using both on-site as well as blended learning technologies (Roll-Pettersson & Ala'i-Rosales, 2009;Roll-Pettersson et al, 2010). Students had backgrounds in speech-language therapy, special education, psychology, social work, and occupational therapy.…”
