A Parent & Professional Workshop on Functional Behavioral Assessments

(FBAs) & Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)

http://www.behavior-consultant.com/FBA%20Workshop%20-%200209.htm

Everyone has bad days. Some children have more than their share of

them. The people who love them and care for them try what they know,

but sometimes that's not enough. The Problem Behavior Solutions

workshop focuses on how to go about systematically addressing each of

those behaviors that make for bad days and replace them with behaviors

that make for great days! This workshop is for parents who want to

develop new skills for problem solving and finding solutions, and for

school and agency staff as well. This workshop presents a three-tier

approach to performing Functional Behavioral Assessments.

Participants will receive instruction in direct observation for

Functional Behavioral Assessments along with material designed to

guide them through the first two stages of the process. A variety of

forms and handouts are provided in order to facilitate immediate use

of the skills learned at this workshop. Space is limited to make

ensure that participants will have time to ask specific questions and

receive answers during the workshop. Follow-up and ongoing support is

available - please inquire.

Continental Breakfast and Chick-Fil-A Lunch are provided.
