| Description |
Research shows behaviors such as hitting, biting, hair pulling, short attention spans, high activity levels, and tantrums are common among young children. It is important for the adults who care for young children to understand what these challenging behaviors might mean and help children eliminate them. Functional assessment helps caregivers and therapists explore the cause for such behaviors and develop appropriate interventions. These assessments also provide parents with a rational basis for the intervention. This workshop explores functional assessment and offers a step-by-step guide for professionals to use when discussing behaviors and interventions with parents.
