Webinar, June 13th, 2023, with Therapro of Framingham. Free. The confusing and challenging behaviors children often demonstrate cause parents, teachers, and therapists to ask the question: Is it sensory or is it behavior?
* Hear about the complex interrelationship between sensory, communication, and behavioral problems seen in individuals.
* Parents, teachers, and therapists must be able to understand these behaviors, identify the underlying cause, and develop interventions to alter the behaviors, remediate the underlying problems, and implement these programs in multiple environments.
* Through a variety of learning activities, participants will learn to use the Intervention for Challenging Behavior flow chart and the ABC model to analyze why children behave the way they do, sorting out sensory-based problems from other causes.
Learning Objectives – At the conclusion of this workshop participants will be able to:
1. Identify behaviors that are obtaining and avoidance in nature, determine the core problems and appropriate intervention strategies.
2. Select and differentiate between treatment activities needed to remediate the core sensory problems;
3. Identify effective sensory replacement behaviors, reinforcers, and positive behavioral strategies.
