About this Learning Opportunity
This introductory session will provide staff with an understanding of the causes of challenging behaviour; the use of the “Low-arousal” approaches including interaction, defusion and distraction strategies; coping with challenging behaviours (including debriefing – why it is necessary and how to do it), managing versus changing behaviours, physical avoidance skills and with working within the law. Studio III is not a provider of generic intervention strategies as the majority of work is designed to promote the prevention and management of challenging behaviour in a totally non-violent, gentle and dignified way.
Autism Awareness Centre/Studio III Canada can provide a certificated program which will assist staff in the development of a unique approach to managing challenging behavior with person-centred crisis management training.
This learning opportunity is being subsidized through funding from Alberta Education.
