“Why does he do that?”
Do you ever wonder why some of your best intervention techniques work with some kids and not others? In this workshop, we will take the position that all behavior has meaning. It is our job as adults who work with and/or care for young children to figure out what the child’s behavior is telling us. Participants will be introduced to a variety of theories and philosophies that can be applied when observing and interpreting behaviors that are confusing or challenging. We will learn to apply neurobehavioral, medical/ health, sensory processing, developmental, and cultural frameworks as means of understanding behavior. Corresponding intervention strategies will be introduced and discussed. Participants will be encouraged to understand the ways in which their own personality and temperaments may influence a child to behave in certain ways. The environmental context will also be examined.
