Understanding Challenging Behaviour This workshop will help participants develop a basic understanding about behaviour and the underlying causes of challenging behaviour. In addition, some common strategies for preventing and managing challenging behaviour will be discussed.
Example learning outcomes include:
Define behaviour and challenging behaviour, and develop operational definitions of behaviour.
Label and describe the ABCs (of challenging behaviour) and identify examples of them.
Identify the different functions that behaviours serve, and explain why it is important to determine the function prior to intervention.
Use ABC data collection to determine the function of behaviour.
Define replacement behaviours and describe how to select one to teach.
Discriminate between punishment and extinction, and explain the pitfalls of using punishment procedures.
Explain why it is important to collect data.
