Autism: Addressing Challenging Behaviors in the Classroom
CESA #3
March 20, 2013
8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Check-in
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Workshop
Presenters: Daniel Parker, DPI Autism Consultant & Peg Mazeika, Behavior Support Specialist
The day will begin with an overview of functional behavior assessments. Participants will practice by observing a behavior and matching behaviors that interfere with learning to the specific needs of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and then discuss possible evidence based interventions that could be utilized to teach more skillful behaviors.
Participants will have the opportunity to work in smaller groups around three evidence-based topics - Reinforcement, Response Interruption & Visual Schedules. All of the practices meet evidence-based practice criteria from the National Professional Development Center on ASD. Participants will be provided with an overview of each practice, examples of use of the practice in school settings, and time to plan/discuss how they can use the practice for their students.
