Why Are They Doing That!?
1-Day Virtual Workshop
May 16, 2025 9:00am-3:00pm (Pacific Time)
Figuring out the ‘why’ of student behaviour and how to develop strategies that teach adaptive and effective ways for students to get their needs met.
As many schools have teams to develop and implement Behaviour Support Plans, understanding the ‘why’ of the behaviour is a critical component to the development of strategies that are chosen to help improve them. In this one-day workshop the participants will first learn what behavioural functions are, and how these are different than just looking at how a behaviour looks or sounds. They will learn the multitude of ways in which teams can figure out the ‘why’, and how the functions may be different in different context, situations, or change across time. Finally, in the second half of the workshop, participants will learn which strategies are generally recommended to start with that respond to each different function in order to teach the student adaptive and effective ways to get their needs met.
Audience: This training is directed toward employees of BC school districts and independent schools. This includes teachers, paraprofessionals, and other educational staff supporting students with ASD at any grade level (K-12) in developing their social, academic, and adaptive skills.
