About this Learning Opportunity
*This is a repeat of a previous series
Behaviour Series:
Session 1: What are Distressed Behaviours and how they are created and maintained
In this session, participants will learn to describe distressed behaviours based on what they can observe. They will also learn how distressed behaviours are created and maintained by identifying the antecedents and consequences related to them.
Session 2: How to assess Distressed Behaviours and develop effective strategies to teach Socially Appropriate behaviours
In this session, participants will learn to assess distressed behaviours by taking ABC data, doing interviews, or completing questionnaires. They will also learn the four main functions of distressed behaviours (i.e., attention, escape, demand, tangible, sensory) and to use positive behaviour support strategies to teach their students socially appropriate behaviours that will replace the distressed behaviours.
Session 3: Putting into Practice
In this session, participants will bring one student file that they need to develop a positive behaviour support plan for. They will identify the potential functions of the student’s behaviours and will develop a plan to replace the distressed behaviours with a socially appropriate one.
