Have the individuals with autism in your life been experiencing behavior difficulties in your classroom or home and cannot communicate what is happening? In this interactive session, we will work with parents, caregivers, teachers and/or support people to clearly describe the behavior, identify possible functions, and implement supports to address the underlying need and reduce challenging behavior, all in a small group workshop setting. Presenters will share a variety of skills to analyze behavior and practice with examples during the session. Participants will learn to apply those skills toward the behaviors specific to their child or student, and leave with practical strategies for positive behavior support. Due to its interactive nature, space in this workshop is limited. Upon registration you will receive a letter confirming your attendance.
