The goal of this workshop is to change our mindset around behaviour and address challenges proactively. Learn productive ways to respond to student behaviours using the fundamentals of behavioural science. In this all-day workshop we will explore practical, evidence-based approaches to managing behaviours related to ADHD, autism, and executive functioning skills challenges. We will learn, discuss and apply our knowledge throughout the day using real-life situations and case studies.
After you have registered for the workshop, you will receive a payment slip and confirmation of your spot will be emailed to you upon receipt of payment.
Limited space is available, so sign up now to improve your understanding of behaviour and strengthen your skills!
What to Expect
-
Who are we? Who are you?
-
Making the shift from reacting to challenging behaviours to thinking about behaviour as a form of communication.
-
In this section we lay the foundations of behavioural science for two reasons. One, for taking a closer look at the functions of behaviour and understanding how to increase or decrease behaviours (a.k.a. reinforcement). And two, so that we are all using the same language when talking about behaviour.
-
What’s happening before a behaviour occurs, what the behaviour looks like and what happened afterwards? And why is this so important to shaping behaviours?
-
Taking a closer look at how executive functions play a major role in behavioural challenges related to ADHD and Autism.
-
Looking at examples of problem behaviour, the related area of executive functioning and possible supports and strategies to use in the classroom.
-
Let’s look at some real life examples and create practical behavioural interventions.
*When you register for this course, you will have the opportunity to provide your own examples that we can possibly use and review.
