Addressing
Challenging Behaviours of Children with Autism & other Special
Needs.
Dates: Thursday, November 20 & 27,
2008 123Time:
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.
