This 10-week program for parents and caregivers of children up to 12 years of age teaches positive, proactive strategies to manage behaviours in a constructive way, encourage your child’s development, and cope with difficult situations.  Recommended for parents and caregivers new to their child’s diagnosis.

Once you have identified why your child might be engaging in interfering behaviours, it’s important to be able to provide a better way for them to achieve that same need or desire. In this workshop, you will learn how to respond to your child’s interfering behaviour and find some appropriate replacement behaviours to teach instead. This workshop is for families who have completed “Understanding Interfering Behaviour – Where to Start” and have a good understanding of their child’s interfering behavior, but want to know more about how best to support them to reduce this behaviour.
