| Description |
This training will teach participants how to reframe their thinking in addressing challenging behaviors exhibited by a student with ASD by understanding the behavior as a feature or characteristic of the child’s neurobiological disability of ASD, particularly in relation to social relation differences.
Many students with ASD are restricted from inclusive opportunities with their peers due to challenging behaviors, and typical behavior managements systems relying upon consequence and rewards are generally not effective in changing behavior for students with ASD. It is critical to develop the understanding that individuals with ASD often exhibit challenging behaviors resulting from increased anxiety because they don’t know how to make better responsive choices, often caused by social relation differences. This training will focus on utilization of positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS), to prevent the occurrence of challenging behaviors in students with ASD as “best practices” behavior intervention programs.
Participants will be given concrete explanations regarding the social relation areas of difficulties experienced by students with ASD, followed by numerous, practical, evidence-based practice instructional strategies, resources, and curriculums specific to social relations skills assessment and intervention.
