TRAINING DESCRIPTION: Students with autism spectrum disorder can exhibit behavioral challenges as a result of their distinct learning differences. This training will teach participants how to reframe their thinking in addressing challenging behaviors exhibited by a child with ASD by understanding the behavior as a feature or characteristic of the child’s neurobiological disability of ASD. 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. 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. Numerous examples and resources designed to foster positive student behavioral change through direct skill instruction and programming accommodations will be shared during this training.
A particular focus on identifying positive behavioral interventions and supports to prevent the occurrence of challenging behaviors in children with ASD will be shared as “best practices” behavior intervention program. A unique educational planning guide designed to assist teams in identifying the source of challenging behaviors in relation to the features and characteristics of ASD will be reviewed. It is important for participants to consider that there is no single “standard way” to address challenging behaviors sometimes exhibited in children with ASD. Rather each behavioral intervention plan should be designed to meet the individualized interests, needs, learning styles, and processing skills of the child with ASD.
