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.
