Addressing Challenging Behaviours of Children with Autism & other Special Needs
Dates: Wednesday, November 3 & 10, 2010
Time: 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. both evenings.
This two-part workshop will do more than just teach participants to "manage" challenging behaviours including, but not limited to, aggression, self-injury, pica, stereotypic (self-stimulatory) behaviours, and destruction. The emphasis in this workshop is on the identification of the function of the behaviour. All behaviour, even those we deem inappropriate, serve a function. Participants will learn how to conduct a functional analysis of the behaviour (not just an ABC chart), identify appropriate replacement behaviours, and teach functional communication in order to create meaningful behaviour change that maintains over time.
Early bird registration before September 1, 2010: $110.00
Registration fee after September 1, 2010: $130.00
Current BCTS clients, Autism Ontario members and students: $100.00

Time: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. both days.
The two-day intermediate curriculum workshop will focus on teaching strategies to address higher level language skills (attributes, prepositions, verb tense, sentence formation), academic skills (letter- sound correspondence, early literacy, comprehension in literacy, quantities, basic computational skills) and concept development (categorization, temporal concepts, same/different). Participants should be familiar with discrete-trial training as covered in the introductory workshop above in order to fully benefit from this workshop.
