The purpose of this workshop is to provide parents, caregivers, and

professionals of children with special needs with a rudimentary

understanding of the environmental variables that control and maintain

problem behaviors. Participants will then learn how to manipulate these

variables in order to effect consistent, long-term reduction of problem

behaviors. Topics to be covered include: Importance of reducing problem

behaviors; Analyzing problem behaviors according to function rather than

form; Developing a behavior reduction plan that includes antecedent

manipulations as well as consequences, with emphasis on antecedents; Data

collection.
