ASAH’s Speakers Bureau presents
Managing Challenging
Behavior:
Best Practice for Parents and Educators
Featuring Steven
B. Gordon, Ph.D., ABPP
Students with disabilities sometimes exhibit behaviors that may confuse, frustrate, irritate - and at times,
frighten – others around them. It is vital that adults know how to effectively manage a child’s challenging behavior
and turn it into an opportunity to teach new skills that will result in more productive, appropriate behavior.
In
this two-hour program, parents and educators will learn to approach challenging behavior in new ways. Through the "A-B-C’s
of Behavior" they will learn how to identify the conditions under which behavior occurs; how to discern the communicative
intent of behavior; how to understand the purpose the behavior serves for the student; how to identify effective responses;
and, how to teach the student more appropriate alternatives.
Attendees
will leave with concrete strategies and research-based tools to help them more effectively manage a student’s behavior
at home, at school and in the community.
