RUBI Program


Description
The RUBI Program provides practitioners with a strong foundation for beginning clinical practice using RUBI Parent Training. Learners develop an understanding of the theoretical foundations of RUBI and build practical skills for implementing the model with fidelity while navigating common clinical challenges. Through three self-paced courses—RUBI Foundations, RUBI Core Sessions, and Caregiver Engagement—practitioners learn to design effective, family-centered RUBI intervention plans that support autistic youth and their caregivers.

Prerequisites
• A master’s degree or higher in a related field (preferred)
• Learner must have their own copy of the RUBI Manual and Parent Workbook (available for purchase through Oxford)

Program Components:
• Exam: Learners have 3 attempts to score an 80% or higher on the untimed final exam.
• Capstone: Learners must attend a virtual capstone session with an instructor, which features final course content and a question-and-answer session. Sessions are hosted with multiple learners and are regularly offered with flexible options for joining the session that best fit their schedule.
• Fidelity Assessment: Learners will complete a video of a RUBI session, of their choice, displaying application of RUBI principles and strategies. To meet fidelity, a score of 80% or higher is required.
