We will discuss problem-solving situations and identify some preventative strategies. We will review aspects of Social Thinking, Behavioral Modification and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Participants will come away with clear strategies towards the prevention of behavior, ways to de-escalate a crisis situation and directions on how to collect data for the purpose of preventing challenging behaviors.
