Understanding Interfering Behaviour – Where to Start

Behaviour

Does your child engage in behaviours that interfere with their participation or independence within their everyday life? Certain behaviours can be challenging to manage, like severe tantrums or aggressing towards others. This workshop will teach you the ABCs of behaviour and how to identify the ‘why’ behind your child engaging in these behaviours. We will also help you to be able to define what these interfering behaviours look like and figure out in what situations or environments these behaviours are most likely to occur. This workshop is for families who have already attended the “Introduction to Applied Behaviour Analysis” workshop and want to understand more about their child’s interfering behaviour. This workshop may be especially useful for those families of children with a new Autism diagnosis
