Did you know if a child’s behavior impedes his learning or the learning of others,

the IEP team must include positive behavioral interventions,

supports, and other strategies to address that behavior? 

CREATING POSITIVE BEHAVIOR CHANGE

SCHOOL AND HOME   

Creating Positive Behavior Change for others is a process, not an event. It starts with understanding our role in supporting and providing intervention for others in their lives. It takes a willingness to see behaviors that challenge us not as “problems” but as opportunities for us to be the facilitators of change.  Designed for parents, teachers and anyone that provides direct care and service to others, this training will offer a groundwork for building attitudes, approaches, and interventions that will support the best possible outcome for people being supported. Participants will learn some of the basic principles of behavior, why challenging behaviors develop, and what maintains them.  Finally, there will be an overview of some general interaction strategies and interventions that are helpful in supporting a myriad of different and unique individuals.
