Topic: Understanding and Changing Challenging Behaviors for Young Childrenwith Autism: Practical advice for parents and professionals Specific Objectives:* Participants will be able to identify the basic behavioral principles used to analyze both appropriate and undesired behavior. * Participants will learn how to increase appropriate behavior by developing positive instructional control, and teaching alternativebehaviors. * Participants will learn how to observe behavior to determine why a behavior is or isn¡ & hibar;t occurring and its probable function(s) * Participants will learn how to structure situations so as to encourage desired behavior and avoid unwanted behavior * Participants will learn how to use simple but effective datacollection procedures Workshop Description: Parents often have concerns about how to encourage their child to behave in an appropriate manner. Attempts to get a child with language delays to ¡°go along with us,¡± are complicated by the fact that the child often doesn¡ & hibar;t understand what we are trying to get them to do or not to do. Another critical factor is the fact that many of these children are not motivated by the typical praise and recognition that is often used to teach typically developing children how to behave. As a result, parents and instructors often find it a challenging task to get the child to do many of the things we need them to do. This workshop specifically addresses practical issues and will give methods for analyzing problem situations and developing strategies to solve those problems. Speaker:Dr. Partington is a licensed psychologist and a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA), with more than 30 years experience. He is the Director of STARS School and Behavior Analysts, Inc., in Pleasant Hill , California. His expertise is in teaching methodology used in language intervention and shaping initiation skills with children who are experiencing language delays as a result of autism-related disorders. Dr. Partington has received awards from the Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis and the Florida Association of Behavior Analysis for his contributions to the field of behavior analysis. Dr. Partington has published several papers on teaching strategies for children with disabilities, has co-authored with Dr. Mark L. Sundberg the book, Teaching Language to Children with Autism or Other Developmental Disabilities and The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (The ABLLS): An Assessment, Curriculum Guide, and Skills Tracking System for Children with Autism or Other Developmental Disabilities, and has produced an instructional video, Teaching Verbal Behavior: An Introduction to Parents Teaching Language.
