Rethinking Attention-Seeking Behaviours and How to Treat Them POPARD Virtual Half-Day Workshop
November 27, 2026 9:00am-12:00pm (Pacific Time) (for BC School Employees Only)
All kids need attention in large amounts, and students with autism are no different. Most of the time we are happy to give our attention to these students looking for it, but in classrooms, attention-seeking behaviours can become disruptive or overwhelming for staff, especially if they come in the form of challenging behaviours. This mini-workshop is designed to help educators reframe the idea of attention-seeking behaviours, while offering them ideas (sometimes silly ones) on how to treat these without making the disruptive or challenging behaviours worse.
