Topic: Understanding and Changing Challenging Behaviors for Young

Children with 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 alternative

behaviors.

¡¤ Participants will learn how to observe behavior to determine why a

behavior is or isn¡¯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 data

collection 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¡¯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.
