Introduction to Behavior Pathways: Understanding the "Why" of Challenging Behavior
Tuesday, November 16th @ 10:00AM - 12:30PM

Many children with disabilities demonstrate challenging behaviors that may serve a variety of functions including requesting tangible objects, escaping tasks, requesting attention, meeting sensory needs, or some combinations of these. For parents and family members it can be extremely frustrating trying to understand the behavior and why it's happening.

Join us as we guide participants through the components of the Behavior Pathway (Behavior, Antecedent, Consequence, Setting Events, Function/Why) to help them identify and better understand the "why" behind challenging behaviors and promote and increase desired behaviors.

A Zoom link will be emailed to registrants prior to the training. Questions should be directed to Sheri Gaylord at: sgaylord@wildwoodprograms.org.
