Description:
In this two-hour program, parents and educators will learn to approach challenging behavior in new ways. Through the "A-B-C's of Behavior" they will learn how to identify the conditions under which behavior occurs; how to discern the communicative intent of behavior; how to understand the purpose the behavior serves for the student; how to identify effective responses; and, how to teach the student more appropriate alternatives.
